Roller shutter repairs in Ellesmere Port

If a shutter at your Ellesmere Port shop has stopped part way, do not force it, as a curtain under strain can bend or drop.

Engineer repairing a roller shutter motor

A short video of your shutter running, from Ellesmere Port or anywhere in Cheshire, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls. Where a video is not enough, a charged diagnostic visit to your Ellesmere Port premises finds the fault, and you know that cost in advance.

We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 66 miles away, and send fitting teams across the North West. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. Postcodes we work in around here include CH64, CH65, CH66, and we also cover Chester, Bebington and Queensferry nearby.

What can we sort out in Ellesmere Port?

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.
Manual shutters and springsSpring-balanced shutters hold stored tension, so spring work is left to trained hands rather than attempted by staff.
Stuck open or closedWe find out whether the curtain, motor, brake or controls are the cause, then work out how to release it safely.

What does it cost in Ellesmere Port?

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.

Landlords with shuttered units in Ellesmere Port and across Cheshire can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams. Most fitting can be done early, late or at weekends, so an Ellesmere Port shop can keep trading through the work.

Common questions

Do you cover Ellesmere Port?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Ellesmere Port and across Cheshire, including CH64, CH65, CH66. Call 0800 088 6341 or send the form with your postcode and we will confirm the details.

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.

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.

Can you board up a shop in Ellesmere Port out of hours?

Yes. The emergency line is open 24/7 for break-ins and smashed glass in Ellesmere Port. We will tell you the arrival time when you call.
