Pricing guide
Costs are driven mainly by the type of motor required and how straightforward the install is; standard consumer swaps are typically less involved than premium direct‑drive or commercial replacements. Labour and materials scale with unit count and motor specification, while electrical upgrades, heavier fixings or unusual mounting needs usually increase the scope. Timing and attendance (for example after‑hours callouts) can also affect the final charge.
Motor type and specification
Standard consumer motors are generally simpler to fit than higher‑spec direct‑drive or specialist commercial units, which usually require pricier components and extra labour.
Number of doors or units
Labour and materials typically scale with how many motors are being replaced across a property or site.
Electrical supply and upgrades
If existing power is usable and compliant the install is usually straightforward, but rewiring or new circuits raise the job complexity and scope.
Mounting complexity and access
Non‑standard mounts (for example jackshaft or heavy commercial fixings), poor access or required structural work usually increases labour and specialist tooling needs.
Timing and callout requirements
Regional callout fees and whether work is needed outside standard hours typically affect the overall charge.
