Industrial door motor replacement in Frome

In short

Industrial door motor replacement for roller shutters, sectional doors and sliding doors in Frome. We diagnose the fault, match a new drive to the door and re-commission it with safety devices tested.

Town: Frome
Postcode district: BA11
Area: Somerset
Guide price: £845 – £2,395

What our engineers check and fix

Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.

Jobs we can carry out

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.
Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Frome 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.

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.

Industrial door motor replacement in Frome: your questions

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Frome?

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.

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

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 Frome costs £145 to £195 ex VAT.

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

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.
