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.
When To Call A Shutter Engineer — The Warning Signs
Recognising the early signs of a failing electric shutter saves you money and downtime. Watch for these common indicators:
- Shutter trips the electrics when operated
- Remote fob, key switch, or rocker switch not responding
- Attempted break-in damage to the guides or curtain
- Manual override failing during a power cut
- Curtain sticking or jamming halfway up or down
- Electric shutter only works intermittently or stutters
- Shutter free-falling or dropping suddenly (safety brake failure)
Shutter Maintenance Tips
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.
- Ensure nothing is left under the shutter when closing it. An obstruction can cause the shutter to spool backwards inside the box.
- Never force a jammed electric shutter by repeatedly pressing the button — this will burn out the motor or snap the curtain links.
