Where a video is not enough, a charged diagnostic visit to your Devon premises finds the fault, and you know that cost in advance.

Engineer repairing a roller shutter motor

Repairing your Devon shutter like for like is usually simple, but check with your council before changing its look, as planning rules differ across the UK. Landlords with shuttered units in Devon and across the South West can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams.

What do we fix in Devon?

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

How much does it cost in Devon?

The guide price is £125 to £695 ex VAT for most repairs. If a shutter at your Devon shop has stopped part way, do not force it, as a curtain under strain can bend or drop. The price we confirm in writing includes travel and access.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Devon?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Devon, including Barnstaple, Exeter, Exmouth, Newton Abbot.

Can you repair any make of shutter?

Many faults can be repaired on most makes, because laths, guides, motors and controls come from common component suppliers. Where a part has been discontinued, we look for a compatible alternative and tell you before ordering it.

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.
