Roller shutter repairs in Torquay
A short video of your shutter running, from Torquay or anywhere in Devon, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls.
Where a video is not enough, a charged diagnostic visit to your Torquay premises finds the fault, and you know that cost in advance. If a shutter at your Torquay shop has stopped part way, do not force it, as a curtain under strain can bend or drop.
Torquay is around 160 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. Jobs in TQ1, TQ2, TQ3 are planned alongside Paignton and Newton Abbot.

What does it cost in Torquay?
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.
Repairing your Torquay shutter like for like is usually simple, but check with your council before changing its look, as planning rules differ across the UK. We protect the pavement and your stock, keep the opening secure at the end of every shift, and leave the Torquay site clean.
Common questions
Do you cover Torquay?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Torquay and across Devon, including TQ1, TQ2, TQ3. Call 0800 088 6341 or send the form with your postcode and we will confirm the details.
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.
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.
What do I do if my shop in Torquay 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.
