How we look after doors in West Bromwich

Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
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. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.

Jobs we can carry out

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.
Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in West Bromwich?

In England, 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 West Bromwich 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.

Industrial door motor replacement in West Bromwich: your questions

Is the motor really the problem with our door in West Bromwich?

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.

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in West Bromwich?

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.

How much does an industrial door motor replacement cost in West Bromwich?

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 West Bromwich costs £145 to £195 ex VAT.
