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. If repair is not economical, we give you a price for a replacement curtain or shutter so you can compare.

Repeated faults are often caused by misaligned guides or an undersized motor, which we flag on the visit. Grinding or squealing usually points to dry or damaged guides, bearings or end plates.

Options we can specify

  • Damaged lath replacement
  • Safety checks after every repair
  • Key switch, remote and receiver repairs
  • Motor, limit and control faults
  • Curtains refitted into guides
  • Spring re-tensioning and replacement

Where we work around Hitchin

We cover Hitchin and the surrounding SG4 district as part of our work across Hertfordshire. Hitchin is around 21 miles from Watford, and we also cover nearby Letchworth Garden City, Stevenage and Luton.

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.

Before you book in Hitchin

Do you cover Hitchin?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair roller shutter repairs in Hitchin and the SG4 district, as part of our coverage across Hertfordshire.

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.

My shutter is stuck half open. What should I do?

Stop using it and do not force it, as a jammed curtain or failing spring can drop suddenly. Keep people clear and book a repair.

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.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
