How roller shutter repairs work, and what to ask for

After a repair, powered shutters are checked so the safety devices and limits work correctly. Grinding or squealing usually points to dry or damaged guides, bearings or end plates.

A curtain that has jumped out of its guides is one of the most common faults, often after a knock or strong wind. Broken or weak springs make manual shutters heavy or impossible to lift, and are replaced or re-tensioned.

What's included

  • Key switch, remote and receiver repairs
  • Guide, bearing and end plate repairs
  • Spring re-tensioning and replacement
  • Bottom rail and lock repairs
  • Curtains refitted into guides
  • Safety checks after every repair

Where we work around Colchester

Colchester sits in Essex, roughly 26 miles from Southend-on-Sea. Whether the job is in the CO1 district or nearby Sudbury, Clacton-on-Sea and Witham, the survey and quote work the same way.

Rules in England

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

How it works

  1. Describe the fault

    Tell us what the shutter is doing, the make if you know it, and send a photo or video.

  2. Engineer visit

    An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.

  3. Fixed repair price

    You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.

  4. Tested and reported

    Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.

Roller shutter repairs: common questions

Do you cover Colchester?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair roller shutter repairs in Colchester and the CO1 district, as part of our coverage across Essex.

Can you repair a shutter you did not fit?

Yes. We repair most makes and types of roller shutter, grille and industrial door.

Why does my electric shutter stop halfway?

Common causes are incorrect limit settings, an obstruction, a safety edge fault or a motor overheating. An engineer can diagnose it on site.

Is it worth repairing an old shutter?

Often, yes. Motors, springs and laths can be replaced individually. If the curtain or box is badly worn, we will price a replacement so you can compare.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
