How we look after doors in Shropshire
- Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
- Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
- Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
- Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
- Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
Powered door rules that apply in Shropshire
Shropshire 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
On a first visit we record each door's make, size, control type and condition. That record makes later repairs quicker to price and helps you plan replacements before a door fails.

Your questions about industrial door motor replacement
Is the motor really the problem with our door in Shropshire?
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.
Should we replace the whole door instead of the motor in Shropshire?
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.
Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Shropshire?
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.
