- Failed tubular motors requiring replacement
- Jammed manual override eyes and winding handles

How To Look After Your Roller Shutter
A little maintenance goes a long way. Here are tips we give our commercial clients:
- Check your bullet locks and ground pins regularly. If they become stiff, a squirt of WD-40 can prevent the key from snapping in the lock.
- Keep the shutter guide rails completely clear of debris, dirt, and stones to prevent the curtain from jamming.
- Test your emergency manual override once a month to ensure it works in the event of a power cut.
Local Shutter Repair Patterns in Purley
Our engineers work regularly around Purley Cross and Sanderstead Station and along Brighton Road, Purley High Street, and Sanderstead Road, where retail shops, offices, and residential properties rely on secure, operational shutters. Because we visit these areas daily, we know the specific roller shutter systems in use and the faults most likely to occur — from burnt-out motors on heavy shopfronts to jammed curtains on warehouse bays.
Safety Compliance & Brakes
The Health and Safety at Work Act requires that all electrically operated shutters are maintained in safe working order. We inspect safety brakes (anti-fall devices) and limit switches on every repair visit to ensure compliance.
