How we look after doors in Nailsea

Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
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.

What this work can involve

Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.

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

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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.

Your questions about industrial door motor replacement

Do you replace motors on any make of door across Somerset?

We replace motors on most makes of roller shutter, sectional, sliding and high-speed door across Somerset, 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 Nailsea?

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.

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

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.
