Preventing Shutter Breakdowns Before They Happen
Simple habits that extend the life of your shutter motor and curtain:
- Have your shutters professionally serviced once a year to test the electrical safety and the mechanical safety brakes.
- Ensure nothing is left under the shutter when closing it. An obstruction can cause the shutter to spool backwards inside the box.
- Keep the shutter guide rails completely clear of debris, dirt, and stones to prevent the curtain from jamming.
How We Solved A Common Motor Issue in Brockley
A warehouse in Brockley had an industrial roller door that wouldn't lift. Another company told them they needed a full new door. We tested the electrics, identified a burnt-out tubular motor, replaced the motor unit from our van stock, and saved them thousands of pounds.

Every repair starts with proper diagnosis. We don't guess — we test the electrics and the mechanics.
- Visual inspection of the curtain, guides, and locks
- Electrical testing of the motor, switches, and control board
- Fixed quote provided before any work starts
- Parts replaced from fully stocked vans
- Shutter repaired, limits set, and operation tested
- 12-month warranty documentation issued
