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.
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.
Shutter Maintenance Tips
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.
- 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.
