What the repair involves in Kent
Shutter motor replacement usually starts with the engineer watching the shutter run, if it runs at all, then checking the parts most likely to be at fault. Tubular and external motors repaired or replaced on electric shutters. Where the part is carried on the van the job is often finished the same visit.
- Test the supply, switch and limit settings before condemning a motor
- Match a replacement motor to the curtain weight and barrel size
- Fit, set top and bottom limits and test

Nothing is fitted until you have agreed a written price, and the quote tells you which company is doing the job and when.
