Questions about roller shutter motor replacement in Barking
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.
Can I replace the motor without replacing the shutter?
Yes, in most cases. The motor slides out of the barrel or unbolts from the side.

Yes. Repair and service visits are charged at the rate we give you when you book. Surveys for new installations are free.
