How we look after doors in Wallsend

Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.

Typical scopes of work

Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.

Powered door rules that apply in Wallsend

Wallsend 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.

How the work is organised

Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.

Frequently asked questions

Do you replace motors on any make of door across Tyne and Wear?

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

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Wallsend?

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 Wallsend?

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.
