Roller shutter repairs in Durham
Landlords with shuttered units in Durham and across County Durham can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams.
Where a video is not enough, a charged diagnostic visit to your Durham premises finds the fault, and you know that cost in advance. If a break-in has damaged a shutter in Durham or elsewhere in County Durham, ring our 24/7 emergency line and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call.
Work in Durham is run from Birmingham, roughly 155 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. We cover DH1 and the surrounding streets, along with Spennymoor, Chester-le-Street and Stanley.
What do we fix in Durham?
What does it cost in Durham?
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.
A short video of your shutter running, from Durham or anywhere in County Durham, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls. 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 DH1?
Yes. Durham and the DH1 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.
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.
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 Durham out of hours?
Yes. The emergency line is open 24/7 for break-ins and smashed glass in Durham. We will tell you the arrival time when you call.
