What the visit covers in Somerset

Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.

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

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.

How the work is organised

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.

Frequently asked questions

How soon can a door motor in Somerset 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.

Do you replace motors on any make of door across the South West?

We replace motors on most makes of roller shutter, sectional, sliding and high-speed door across the South West, whoever installed them, subject to a suitable drive being available for the door's weight and mounting.

Should we replace the whole door instead of the motor in Somerset?

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.
