How we look after doors in Burgess Hill

Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Burgess Hill 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.

Planning the work around your site

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.

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.

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.

How much does an industrial door motor replacement cost in Burgess Hill?

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 Burgess Hill costs £145 to £195 ex VAT.
