What our engineers check and fix

Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.
Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.

Typical scopes of work

Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.

Safety law for industrial doors in Wales

Industrial doors in Neath 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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

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

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 Neath?

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.

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

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 Neath costs £145 to £195 ex VAT.
