Roller shutter repairs in Bedford
Repairing your Bedford shutter like for like is usually simple, but check with your council before changing its look, as planning rules differ across the UK.
Landlords with shuttered units in Bedford and across Bedfordshire can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams. A short video of your shutter running, from Bedford or anywhere in Bedfordshire, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 67 miles away, and send fitting teams across the East of England. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. We cover MK40, MK41 and the surrounding streets, along with Rushden, Milton Keynes and Letchworth.
Which faults do we deal with in Bedford?
What does it cost in Bedford?
A roller shutter repair costs £125 to £695 ex VAT for most repairs. A few damaged laths or a control fault sit at the lower end, and a new motor towards the top. If a video of the shutter running does not show the cause, we book a charged diagnostic visit, from £125 ex VAT. You are told that figure before we come out.
If a shutter at your Bedford shop has stopped part way, do not force it, as a curtain under strain can bend or drop. If you can't close, we phase the work: one bay at a time, with the unit left secure and weathertight every night.
Common questions
Do you work in MK40, MK41?
Yes. Bedford and the MK40, MK41 postcodes are covered, as is the rest of Bedfordshire. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we will come back to you with the next step.
Can I open my shutter by hand if the motor fails?
Usually yes, if it has a manual override such as a crank handle or hand chain. Follow the maker's instructions and do not force it. If there is no override or the curtain has jammed, leave it alone, because forcing it can bend laths or drop the curtain.
Do I need planning permission to repair a shutter?
Usually not. A like-for-like repair in England does not normally need planning permission, although fitting a new external shutter often does. Changing the curtain type or the box could count as a change, so check first, as rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
What do I do if my shop in Bedford is broken into?
Call the police first if a crime is in progress, then call our 24/7 line on 0800 088 6341. We will tell you the arrival time when you call, and board up or reglaze so the premises are secure.
