Roller shutter motor replacement in Stevenage: questions
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.
Do you work on shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We work on most makes of domestic, shop and industrial roller shutter, wherever they came from.
