Where We Provide Shutter Repair in Richmond
From the busiest commercial centres to the quieter local parades, our fleet covers all of Richmond:
Our Shutter Repair Process
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
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.
Keep Your Electric Shutter Working Longer
Simple habits that extend the life of your shutter motor and curtain:
- Keep the shutter guide rails completely clear of debris, dirt, and stones to prevent the curtain from jamming.
- Have your shutters professionally serviced once a year to test the electrical safety and the mechanical safety brakes.
- Do not grease the inside of the guide rails with thick grease — it attracts dirt. Use a light silicone spray if necessary.
