How we look after doors in Caerphilly

Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.

Typical scopes of work

Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.

Powered door rules that apply in Caerphilly

Caerphilly is in Wales, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

How the work is organised

Service and repair visits in Caerphilly are booked around your shifts. Doors and shutters are taken out of use one at a time, so the rest of the site keeps working while each one is checked.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an industrial door motor replacement cost in Caerphilly?

Our guide price for a replacement motor is £845 to £2,395 ex VAT, supplied and fitted, depending on door size, drive type and whether a new control panel is needed. A diagnostic repair visit in Caerphilly costs £145 to £195 ex VAT.

Is the motor really the problem with our door in Caerphilly?

Not always. Broken springs, damaged guides, failed panels, safety device faults and supply problems can all look like a failed motor. We diagnose first so you do not pay for a motor that will not fix the fault.

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Caerphilly?

Yes. Where the original is no longer made, we fit an equivalent drive with any adapter plates or couplings needed, then set limits and test the safety devices before the door goes back into use.
