Roller shutter repairs in Dorset
Landlords with shuttered units in Dorset and across the South West can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams.
If a break-in has damaged a shutter in Dorset or elsewhere in the South West, ring our 24/7 emergency line and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call. Repairing your Dorset shutter like for like is usually simple, but check with your council before changing its look, as planning rules differ across the UK.
What do we fix in Dorset?
How much does it cost in Dorset?
As a guide, allow £125 to £695 ex VAT for most repairs. Where a video is not enough, a charged diagnostic visit to your Dorset premises finds the fault, and you know that cost in advance. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.
Which towns do you cover?
Common questions
Do you cover all of Dorset?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Dorset, including Bournemouth, Christchurch, Dorchester, Poole.
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.
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 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.
