Roller shutter repairs Chester

If a break-in has damaged a shutter in Chester or elsewhere in Cheshire, ring our 24/7 emergency line and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call. Landlords with shuttered units in Chester and across Cheshire can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams.

Chester is around 61 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. Postcodes we work in around here include CH1, and we also cover Queensferry, Ellesmere Port and Flint nearby.

What do we fix in Chester?

Stuck open or closedWe find out whether the curtain, motor, brake or controls are the cause, then work out how to release it safely.

Curtain out of its guidesImpact and wear can push the curtain out of the guide rails. We refit it and straighten or replace the guides.

Controls and remotesKey switches, push buttons, receivers and handsets are tested and replaced, and limits are reset.

What does it cost in Chester?

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 Chester shop has stopped part way, do not force it, as a curtain under strain can bend or drop. Most fitting can be done early, late or at weekends, so a Chester shop can keep trading through the work.

Common questions

Do you work in CH1?

Yes. Chester and the CH1 postcodes are covered, as is the rest of Cheshire. 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 Chester 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.
