Roller shutter repairs in Chester-le-Street
If a shutter at your Chester-le-Street shop has stopped part way, do not force it, as a curtain under strain can bend or drop.

Where a video is not enough, a charged diagnostic visit to your Chester-le-Street premises finds the fault, and you know that cost in advance. Landlords with shuttered units in Chester-le-Street and across County Durham can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams.
Work in Chester-le-Street is run from Birmingham, roughly 161 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. Our Chester-le-Street work takes in DH2. Neighbouring Washington and Stanley are covered too.

Common questions
Do you work in DH2?
Yes. Chester-le-Street and the DH2 postcodes are covered, as is the rest of County Durham. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we will come back to you with the next step.
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.
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.
Can you board up a shop in Chester-le-Street out of hours?
Yes. The emergency line is open 24/7 for break-ins and smashed glass in Chester-le-Street. We will tell you the arrival time when you call.
