Roller shutter repairs in Workington

If a shutter at your Workington 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 Workington or anywhere in Cumbria, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls. Landlords with shuttered units in Workington and across Cumbria can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams.

We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 160 miles away, and send fitting teams across the North West. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. We cover CA14 and the surrounding streets, along with Whitehaven, Dumfries and Carlisle.

What do we fix in Workington?

Bent or damaged lathsDamaged laths are slid out and replaced where the profile is available, without renewing the whole curtain.
Manual shutters and springsSpring-balanced shutters hold stored tension, so spring work is left to trained hands rather than attempted by staff.
Controls and remotesKey switches, push buttons, receivers and handsets are tested and replaced, and limits are reset.

What does it cost in Workington?

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 break-in has damaged a shutter in Workington or elsewhere in Cumbria, ring our 24/7 emergency line and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call. We protect the pavement and your stock, keep the opening secure at the end of every shift, and leave the Workington site clean.

Common questions

Can you come out to Workington for a survey?

Yes. New shopfronts and full refurbishments get a free survey in Workington. Repairs are a charged visit, and we tell you the cost of the visit before anyone comes out.

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.

What do I do if my shop in Workington 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.
