Roller shutter repairs in Christchurch

If a break-in has damaged a shutter in Christchurch or elsewhere in Dorset, ring our 24/7 emergency line and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call.

Engineer repairing a roller shutter motor

Where a video is not enough, a charged diagnostic visit to your Christchurch premises finds the fault, and you know that cost in advance. Landlords with shuttered units in Christchurch and across Dorset can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams.

Work in Christchurch is run from Birmingham, roughly 125 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. Jobs in BH5, BH6, BH7 are planned alongside Bournemouth and Poole.

What do we fix in Christchurch?

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.
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.

What does it cost in Christchurch?

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

Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Christchurch and across Dorset, including BH5, BH6, BH7. Call 0800 088 6341 or send the form with your postcode and we will confirm the details.

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.

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.

What do I do if my shop in Christchurch 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.
