What's included

Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.

Jobs we can carry out

Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
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.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Stoke-on-Trent 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 Stoke-on-Trent: your questions

Will our door in Stoke-on-Trent 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.

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Stoke-on-Trent?

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.

Should we replace the whole door instead of the motor in Stoke-on-Trent?

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.
