What to know about roller shutter repairs in Scottish Borders
If repair is not economical, we give you a price for a replacement curtain or shutter so you can compare. Damaged laths can usually be cut out and replaced individually rather than replacing the whole curtain. Grinding or squealing usually points to dry or damaged guides, bearings or end plates.
After a repair, powered shutters are checked so the safety devices and limits work correctly. A shutter that drops or creeps when stopped needs urgent attention, as the brake or spring may be failing.
Specification options
- Damaged lath replacement
- Motor, limit and control faults
- Bottom rail and lock repairs
- Safety checks after every repair
- Guide, bearing and end plate repairs
- Spring re-tensioning and replacement

Rules in Scotland
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.
Electrical work
Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In Scotland electrical work in buildings must also meet the Scottish building standards, and is carried out and certified by a qualified electrician.

Questions about roller shutter repairs in Scottish Borders
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.
Can you repair a shutter you did not fit?
Yes. We repair most makes and types of roller shutter, grille and industrial door.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
