Roller shutter repairs in Sunderland: the essentials
Repeated faults are often caused by misaligned guides or an undersized motor, which we flag on the visit. Damaged laths can usually be cut out and replaced individually rather than replacing the whole curtain.
A shutter that drops or creeps when stopped needs urgent attention, as the brake or spring may be failing. Motor faults can be a failed motor, a tripped limit setting, a faulty key switch or a power issue, which is diagnosed on site.
What's included
- Motor, limit and control faults
- Safety checks after every repair
- Bottom rail and lock repairs
- Damaged lath replacement
- Curtains refitted into guides
- Guide, bearing and end plate repairs

Where we work around Sunderland
We cover Sunderland and the surrounding SR1 district as part of our work across Tyne and Wear. Sunderland is around 10 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne, and we also cover nearby Seaham, Washington and Houghton-le-Spring.
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.

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

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

Tested and reported

Roller shutter repairs: common questions
Do you cover Sunderland?
Yes. Sunderland (SR1) is within our Tyne and Wear coverage, along with nearby Seaham, Washington and Houghton-le-Spring.
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.
Can you repair a shutter you did not fit?
Yes. We repair most makes and types of roller shutter, grille and industrial door.
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.
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.
