Roller shutter repairs in Plymouth

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

Engineer repairing a roller shutter motor

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

Work in Plymouth is run from Birmingham, roughly 178 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. Our Plymouth work takes in PL1, PL2, PL3. Neighbouring Paignton and Newton Abbot are covered too.

Which faults do we deal with in Plymouth?

Controls and remotesKey switches, push buttons, receivers and handsets are tested and replaced, and limits are reset.
Motor failureA failed motor is tested and replaced with a unit sized for the curtain and barrel.
Bent or damaged lathsDamaged laths are slid out and replaced where the profile is available, without renewing the whole curtain.

What does it cost in Plymouth?

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 shutter at your Plymouth shop has stopped part way, do not force it, as a curtain under strain can bend or drop. 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 cover Plymouth?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Plymouth and across Devon, including PL1, PL2, PL3. Call 0800 088 6341 or send the form with your postcode and we will confirm the details.

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.

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.

Can you board up a shop in Plymouth out of hours?

Yes. The emergency line is open 24/7 for break-ins and smashed glass in Plymouth. We will tell you the arrival time when you call.
