Is Your Shutter Motor Failing? Watch For These Signs
Before a shutter jams completely, it usually shows clear signs. If you spot any of these issues, book a repair early:
- Broken or separated links in the shutter curtain
- Control panel displaying error lights or emitting a burning smell
- Attempted break-in damage to the guides or curtain
- Remote fob, key switch, or rocker switch not responding
- Manual override failing during a power cut
- Shutter trips the electrics when operated
- Damaged or jammed bullet locks and ground pins
- Curtain sticking or jamming halfway up or down

What Our Clients Say About Our Shutter Repair
Emergency Shutter Repair — Available 24/7
If your roller shutter is jammed, unsecure, or the motor has failed — don't wait. Every hour of downtime costs money and leaves your premises vulnerable. Call our emergency shutter repair line — we answer day and night, including weekends and bank holidays.
Preventing Shutter Breakdowns Before They Happen
Regular maintenance prevents most emergency shutter repair call-outs. Start with these:
- Listen to your motor. If it starts making grinding or straining noises, call an engineer before it burns out completely.
- Have your shutters professionally serviced once a year to test the electrical safety and the mechanical safety brakes.
- Never force a jammed electric shutter by repeatedly pressing the button — this will burn out the motor or snap the curtain links.
