Electric motor installation and repair across Bournemouth
We serve Bournemouth from our base in Poole.
What happens on the day
Every motor visit follows a clear procedure to confirm the exact electrical fault before replacement hardware is introduced or circuits are altered.
- Safe isolation and mechanical inspectionWe secure the electrical supply using lock-off procedures at the distribution board or local isolator. We check the motor nameplate specifications, inspect terminal connections, and assess the mechanical coupling to the load.
- Electrical testing and diagnosisWe test winding continuity, measure insulation resistance with calibrated instruments, and examine the motor starter, overload relays and control circuits to determine whether the fault sits in the motor or the supply line.
- Installation or component repairDepending on the fault, we replace damaged terminal blocks, fit new bearings, install replacement capacitors, or mount and align a replacement single or three phase motor onto the existing bedplate.
- Running checks and sign-offOnce reconnected, we verify correct shaft rotation, measure running current on each phase, check thermal characteristics under load, and issue electrical certification whenever a new circuit or modification is carried out.

WhatsAppCan you check both single phase and three phase motors in Bournemouth?
Yes. We work on standard 230V single phase motors found in domestic pumps, garage doors and extractors, as well as 400V three phase motors used in commercial workshops, air handling units and production machinery.
Why does a motor trip the circuit breaker immediately when turned on?
An immediate trip often points to a direct short circuit between windings, an earth fault, a seized bearing resulting in locked rotor current, or a failed start capacitor on a single phase motor. We carry out insulation resistance and winding resistance tests to identify the exact cause.
Do you repair motors on site or replace them?
We replace faulty starters, capacitors, contactors, overloads, local isolators, worn bearings and damaged terminal connections on site. Where an internal winding has burnt out completely, fitting a new replacement motor is often the most cost effective solution, though off-site rewinds can be arranged for specialist units.
Can you wire an isolator and starter for a new machine?
Yes. We install dedicated motor circuits from your distribution board, fit wall-mounted rotary lockable isolators, and connect direct-on-line or star-delta starters configured with the correct thermal overload protection.
Will I receive an electrical certificate for the work?
When we install a new motor circuit, replace a distribution board or carry out notifiable electrical alterations, we issue full NAPIT certification and test schedules upon completion.
