Engineer repairing a roller shutter motor

A short video of your shutter running, from Colchester or anywhere in Essex, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls. Repairing your Colchester shutter like for like is usually simple, but check with your council before changing its look, as planning rules differ across the UK.

Colchester is around 127 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. Our Colchester work takes in CO1, CO2, CO3. Neighbouring Sudbury and Clacton-on-Sea are covered too.

What can we sort out in Colchester?

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.
Bent or damaged lathsDamaged laths are slid out and replaced where the profile is available, without renewing the whole curtain.
Motor failureA failed motor is tested and replaced with a unit sized for the curtain and barrel.

What does it cost in Colchester?

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 Colchester shop has stopped part way, do not force it, as a curtain under strain can bend or drop. Most fitting can be done early, late or at weekends, so a Colchester shop can keep trading through the work.

Common questions

Do you work in CO1, CO2, CO3?

Yes. Colchester and the CO1, CO2, CO3 postcodes are covered, as is the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we will come back to you with the next step.

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.

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.

What do I do if my shop in Colchester 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.
