What the visit covers in Swansea

Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.

Typical scopes of work

Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.

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

In Wales, 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

Service and repair visits in Swansea 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.

Your questions about industrial door motor replacement

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

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 Swansea costs £145 to £195 ex VAT.

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

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 soon can a door motor in Swansea 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.
