Roller shutter repairs Braintree

If a shutter at your Braintree shop has stopped part way, do not force it, as a curtain under strain can bend or drop. Repairing your Braintree shutter like for like is usually simple, but check with your council before changing its look, as planning rules differ across the UK.

Braintree is around 114 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. Jobs in CM7, CM77 are planned alongside Witham and Chelmsford.

What can we sort out in Braintree?

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.

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.

What does it cost in Braintree?

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.

Where a video is not enough, a charged diagnostic visit to your Braintree premises finds the fault, and you know that cost in advance. Most fitting can be done early, late or at weekends, so a Braintree shop can keep trading through the work.

Common questions

Can you come out to Braintree for a survey?

Yes. New shopfronts and full refurbishments get a free survey in Braintree. Repairs are a charged visit, and we tell you the cost of the visit before anyone comes out.

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.

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.

What do I do if my shop in Braintree 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.
