Roller shutter repairs in Barnstaple

Repairing your Barnstaple shutter like for like is usually simple, but check with your council before changing its look, as planning rules differ across the UK.

Engineer repairing a roller shutter motor

Landlords with shuttered units in Barnstaple and across Devon can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams. If a shutter at your Barnstaple shop has stopped part way, do not force it, as a curtain under strain can bend or drop.

Barnstaple is around 137 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. Our Barnstaple work takes in EX31, EX32. Neighbouring Tiverton and Exeter are covered too.

What can we sort out in Barnstaple?

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

What does it cost in Barnstaple?

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 Barnstaple or elsewhere in Devon, ring our 24/7 emergency line and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call. Tell us your opening hours when you book and we will plan the Barnstaple job around them, with overnight or weekend fitting where the work allows.

Common questions

Do you work in EX31, EX32?

Yes. Barnstaple and the EX31, EX32 postcodes are covered, as is the rest of Devon. 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.

What do I do if my shop in Barnstaple 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.
