The drive system is the heart of your roller door. In Ockendon, we frequently diagnose issues with Anti-Fall Safety Brakes. Common symptoms include humming without movement (capacitor failure) or the curtain stopping halfway. We carry replacement motors for major brands like Somfy and Ellard, allowing us to swap out faulty units on the spot and reset the limit switches for perfect closure.
If your roller door has been hit by a vehicle or forced, the Perforated Vision Slats may be misaligned. A bent curtain cannot roll efficiently into the hood box. We repair damaged slats, realign the barrel assembly, and grease the end plate bearings. This restores the smooth rolling action and prevents the motor from burning out due to excessive strain.
Powered roller shutters fall under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. A free-falling curtain can be fatal. Our repairs in Ockendon include a mandatory safety inspection. We check the Anti-Fall Safety Brake and verify that the emergency manual override is functional, keeping you compliant with HSE guidelines.
