Roller shutter repairs Darlington

A short video of your shutter running, from Darlington or anywhere in County Durham, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls. Landlords with shuttered units in Darlington and across County Durham can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams.

We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 138 miles away, and send fitting teams across the North East. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. Postcodes we work in around here include DL1, DL2, DL3, and we also cover Newton Aycliffe, Stockton-on-Tees and Bishop Auckland nearby.

Which faults do we deal with in Darlington?

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.

Motor failureA failed motor is tested and replaced with a unit sized for the curtain and barrel.

What does it cost in Darlington?

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 Darlington shutter like for like is usually simple, but check with your council before changing its look, as planning rules differ across the UK. 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 DL1, DL2, DL3?

Yes. Darlington and the DL1, DL2, DL3 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.

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 Darlington 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.
