Roller shutter motor replacement in Edinburgh: questions
How do I know if my shutter motor has failed?
If the shutter hums but does not move, stops part way, or does nothing when the power and switch are fine, the motor or its limits are the likely cause. We test before replacing.

A domestic tubular motor is usually £295–£595 including VAT fitted (£245–£495 plus VAT); commercial and industrial motors cost more depending on size and duty.
Do you work on shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes, most makes and ages of shutter; photos and any labels help us bring the right parts to Edinburgh.
