Door stalling, grinding or creeping down at your Oxford site? It may need a new motor, or the motor may be suffering from a fault elsewhere. We diagnose which it is before recommending anything.

Town: Oxford
Postcode district: OX1
Area: Oxfordshire

What our engineers check and fix

Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.

Jobs we can carry out

Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Oxford?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

Keeping your site running during the work

Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.

Questions from businesses in Oxford

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

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 Oxford 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.

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

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 Oxford costs £145 to £195 ex VAT.
