Engineer repairing a roller shutter motor

If a break-in has damaged a shutter in Reading or elsewhere in Berkshire, ring our 24/7 emergency line and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call. A short video of your shutter running, from Reading or anywhere in Berkshire, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls.

Reading is around 85 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. We cover RG1, RG4, RG6 and the surrounding streets, along with Wokingham, Bracknell and Sandhurst.

What do we fix in Reading?

Motor failureA failed motor is tested and replaced with a unit sized for the curtain and barrel.
Controls and remotesKey switches, push buttons, receivers and handsets are tested and replaced, and limits are reset.
Manual shutters and springsSpring-balanced shutters hold stored tension, so spring work is left to trained hands rather than attempted by staff.

What does it cost in Reading?

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.

Repairing your Reading shutter like for like is usually simple, but check with your council before changing its look, as planning rules differ across the UK. Tell us your opening hours when you book and we will plan the Reading job around them, with overnight or weekend fitting where the work allows.

Common questions

Do you work in RG1, RG4, RG6?

Yes. Reading and the RG1, RG4, RG6 postcodes are covered, as is the rest of Berkshire. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we will come back to you with the next step.

A vehicle hit my shutter. Can it be repaired?

Often yes. Damaged laths can be replaced, but a bent barrel or distorted guides may need new parts or a new shutter. We can provide photos and an itemised invoice for an insurer, although the outcome of any claim is for them to decide.

How often should a shop roller shutter be serviced?

Follow the maker's or installer's instructions, because the interval depends on the shutter and how often it runs. Many owners book one planned service a year. Powered shutters at work premises must be kept safe, so a written service record is worth keeping.

What do I do if my shop in Reading 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.
