Emergency Shutter Repair in Woking
Woking's modernized town centre requires reliable security shutter maintenance. We repair electric roller shutters, manual overrides, and faulty control boards with same-day response. Our engineers cover Woking and all surrounding streets, arriving fully stocked with motors and links to fix your shutter fast.
How To Look After Your Roller Shutter
Regular maintenance prevents most emergency shutter repair call-outs. Start with these:
- Never force a jammed electric shutter by repeatedly pressing the button — this will burn out the motor or snap the curtain links.
- Do not grease the inside of the guide rails with thick grease — it attracts dirt. Use a light silicone spray if necessary.
- 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.

How long does a shutter motor replacement take?
A standard tubular motor replacement usually takes between 1.5 to 3 hours depending on the size and accessibility of the shutter box.
