How we look after doors in Rutland
- Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
- Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
- Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
- Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
- Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
- Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
- Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
Powered door rules that apply in Rutland
Rutland is in England, 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.
Planning the work around your site
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Questions from businesses in Rutland
Should we replace the whole door instead of the motor in Rutland?
If the door itself is old, damaged or needs several other repairs, replacement can be better value. We price both where it makes sense, so you can weigh up the cost and remaining life honestly.
Will our door in Rutland be tested after the motor is changed?
Yes. We set limits, test the brake and manual override, check safety devices and measure closing forces where required, then give you a written record of the work and test results.
Do you replace motors on any make of door across the East Midlands?
We replace motors on most makes of roller shutter, sectional, sliding and high-speed door across the East Midlands, whoever installed them, subject to a suitable drive being available for the door's weight and mounting.
