Industrial door motor replacement in Corby

The short version

When the original motor on a door in Corby (NN17) is no longer made, we fit an equivalent drive with the adapters it needs, set new limits and test closing forces before handover.

Town: Corby
Postcode district: NN17
Area: Northamptonshire
Guide price: £845 – £2,395

What's included

Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.

Examples of work we can quote for

Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Corby are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

Access, phasing and timing

Service and repair visits in Corby 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.

Your questions about industrial door motor replacement

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

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 Corby costs £145 to £195 ex VAT.

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

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.

How soon can a door motor in Corby be replaced?

Many common motors can be sourced quickly, and fitting usually takes a few hours once the drive is on site. Specialist or obsolete motors may need ordering; we tell you the lead time with the quote.
