Questions about roller shutter motor replacement in Ilford
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.
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.

Yes, most makes and ages of shutter; photos and any labels help us bring the right parts to Ilford.
