While metal roller shutters are very strong and can last over a decade or more, we all know that accidents can happen.
Whether it’s weather damage, a vehicle impact, or even vandalism, you might suddenly find that your roller shutter is broken – leaving your property vulnerable until you can get someone to resolve this security breach.
Being unable to use the door or secure the premises for days on end isn’t an option, but with emergency roller shutter repairs from professionals like the Roller Shutter UK team, you won’t have to worry about extended downtime.
We carry out same working day shutter repairs in most cases, so you can get back to business as soon as possible. All you need to do is call us on 0800 328 9356 and we’ll take it from there.
Here’s a rundown of how our emergency roller shutter repair services can help you.
What roller shutter problems can you fix?
Maybe your shutter won’t move, is making strange noises, or is visibly damaged. Whatever the situation may be, we can provide fast repairs for a wide range of problems, including:
- Electrical system failures
- Mechanical malfunctions
- Stuck or jammed curtains
- Cracked or dented slats
- Faulty controls or sensors
- Loose or worn-out parts
Not only do we offer repairs for manual or motorised roller shutters with these issues, but we can also help with sectional doors, rapid roll doors, fire shutters, and even steel security doors.
We have many years of experience working on public and private buildings across all sectors. From domestic garages to commercial premises to industrial units, we can provide shutter repairs for shops, schools, warehouses, and more.
How quickly can you repair roller shutters?
Our services are available at any time, meaning you can call us day or night for 24/7 roller shutter repairs across the North West.
From our base in Bickerstaffe, we cover a large area across Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, and Cheshire, so the time it takes us to reach you will depend on your location.
Typically, we aim to arrive at your site within a few hours of receiving your call, no matter the hour. We’ll let you know how soon one of our engineers can get to you while you’re speaking to us on the phone, so you won’t be waiting around for too long.
Once we arrive, the amount of time it takes to fix your roller shutter will depend on the nature and severity of the problem, but after assessing the situation, we will communicate this information with you clearly before we proceed with repairs.
Our technicians have plenty of experience in repairing different shutter types and carry a variety of equipment and common components, enabling a first-time fix in most cases. We’ll minimise downtime as much as possible while conducting thorough repairs.
How do you carry out same day repairs?
Our emergency roller shutter repair process is straightforward and reliable:
CALL – When you call us, we’ll ask for more details on the fault you’re dealing with so we can prepare effectively and give you an ETA.
INSPECTION – An engineer will arrive at your premises ASAP and examine the shutter to identify the issue and determine how to fix it.
QUOTE – We’ll provide a competitively-priced quote for the repair work and required parts, and will only proceed with your agreement.
REPAIR – Using specialist tools, genuine parts, and skilled techniques, our engineer will get to work restoring your shutter’s functionality.
TEST – We’ll conduct operational checks to ensure the shutter is working correctly and safely before we sign off on the completed repair.
Within one working day, your roller shutter should be back to optimal performance.
What if you can’t repair a shutter right away?
While up to 99% of our emergency visits are first-time fixes, there are some cases where this may not be possible – for example, if a specific part is needed that we don’t have in stock, or if the damage is so severe that the shutter is beyond repair.
In the rare instance that we can’t finish the repair that same day, we’ll help you to secure the property until we can return with the new part.
If repairs wouldn’t be economical due to the extent of the damage, we can offer our services as suppliers and installers instead, providing a quote for a replacement roller shutter – whether it’s like-for-like or a new bespoke design.
Though replacing roller shutters will extend the timeframe, once installed, you’ll have peace of mind that your new shutter is up to date with regulatory compliance and will last for a long time with regular maintenance.
To avoid rapid repairs in the future, we can also provide scheduled roller shutter servicing to help prevent sudden breakdowns.
