Diagnosis first

Not Every Motor Fault Needs a New Motor

A roller shutter motor can fail, but the same symptoms can also come from a jammed curtain, worn bearing, failed receiver, lost remote pairing, power issue, limit setting fault or mechanical resistance in the guides.

We check the shutter, motor, controls and curtain before recommending replacement. If the motor is the real fault, we can replace it and reset the limits so the shutter travels properly.

Motor humming, shutter not moving

We check for seized components, obstruction, failed capacitor, motor failure and whether the shutter is overloaded.

Remote or wall switch not working

We test the remote, receiver, wall switch and power before assuming the tubular motor has failed.

Manual shutter motorisation

Where the shutter is suitable, we can convert manual strap or winder shutters to motorised operation.

Systems and controls

Motors, Remotes, Receivers and Limits

We work across common roller shutter motor and control systems, including older shutters where the original installer is no longer available. Brand details help, but photos of the motor head, remote or control box are often enough to start.

Common questions

Roller Shutter Motor Replacement FAQ

Sometimes, but not always. Humming can also point to mechanical resistance, a jammed shutter, seized drive, capacitor fault or power issue. We check the full shutter before recommending replacement.
Often yes. It depends on the shutter size, condition, barrel, access and power options. We can assess whether motorisation is practical before quoting.
