Repairing your Dorchester 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 Dorchester is run from Birmingham, roughly 128 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. Postcodes we work in around here include DT1, and we also cover Weymouth, Yeovil and Poole nearby.

What does it cost in Dorchester?

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 Dorchester shop has stopped part way, do not force it, as a curtain under strain can bend or drop. We protect the pavement and your stock, keep the opening secure at the end of every shift, and leave the Dorchester site clean.
