Whether your shutters are only closed overnight, your premises stay locked up on weekends, or you’ll be away for a little while, you shouldn’t have to worry about leaving your property vulnerable to vandals and burglars.
That’s why roller shutters are a must-have for shops and businesses of all sizes.
However, when it’s time to open up again for the start of a new business day, you also don’t want to be faced with an inaccessible property or discover that the premises are now exposed because of a stuck shutter.
If you can’t trade as usual, you’ll lose money, and if your premises are unsecured, this could also invalidate your insurance.
This is why it’s crucial to keep up with shutter maintenance to avoid unexpected breakdowns. However, in some cases – such as vandalism or break-in attempts – shutter damage can happen out of the blue.
Which is when our emergency roller shutter repairs can offer a timely lifeline.
Here’s why you shouldn’t let damaged shop shutters slow you down, and how our 24/7 service at Roller Shutter UK can save the day.
Common broken shop shutter problems
From high streets and shopping centres to leisure facilities and even office buildings, there are plenty of locations where shops with shutters rely on being able to open and close on time.
Some common reasons to contact us urgently about broken shop shutters include:
- Visible wear of the curtain slats
- Faulty locks or controls
- Strange noises during operation
- Jammed mechanisms
- Unexplained power failures
- Extreme weather damage
While roller shutter systems are manufactured from durable materials, they can still be damaged by severe impacts – both accidental and intentional – and through extensive wear and tear over time.
This can leave you dealing with an array of problems for your business, including:
- Increased risk of vandalism and theft due to vulnerable entrance points
- Safety risks for staff or customers that require the shop to stay closed
- Loss of earnings if the store is unable to operate during business hours
- Increased energy costs if heating or cooling is affected by the shutter
- Unattractive appearance that gives the impression your shop is unsafe
On top of affecting your daily operations, employees, and customers, you’ll also need to consider the cost of repairs – or even a replacement shutter, if the damage is too severe to fix cost-effectively.
Fortunately, to help reduce your losses from damaged shop shutters, our team can offer emergency repairs at competitive prices.
