Frequently asked 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.
