Roller shutter repairs in Grays

Landlords with shuttered units in Grays and across Essex can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams.

Engineer repairing a roller shutter motor

If a shutter at your Grays shop has stopped part way, do not force it, as a curtain under strain can bend or drop. Repairing your Grays 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 Grays is run from Birmingham, roughly 120 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 DA10, RM16, RM17, and we also cover Thurrock, Gravesend and Dartford nearby.

What do we fix in Grays?

Motor failureA failed motor is tested and replaced with a unit sized for the curtain and barrel.
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.

What does it cost in Grays?

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 Grays premises finds the fault, and you know that cost in advance. 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 work in DA10, RM16, RM17?

Yes. Grays and the DA10, RM16, RM17 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.

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 board up a shop in Grays out of hours?

Yes. The emergency line is open 24/7 for break-ins and smashed glass in Grays. We will tell you the arrival time when you call.
