How we look after doors in Port Talbot
- Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
- Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
- Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
- Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
- Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
- Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
- 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 Port Talbot 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Service and repair visits in Port Talbot are booked around your shifts. Doors and shutters are taken out of use one at a time, so the rest of the site keeps working while each one is checked.

Frequently asked questions
Should we replace the whole door instead of the motor in Port Talbot?
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.
How soon can a door motor in Port Talbot be replaced?
Many common motors can be sourced quickly, and fitting usually takes a few hours once the drive is on site. Specialist or obsolete motors may need ordering; we tell you the lead time with the quote.
Will our door in Port Talbot 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.
