Roller shutter repairs in Harlow
Where a video is not enough, a charged diagnostic visit to your Harlow premises finds the fault, and you know that cost in advance.
Repairing your Harlow shutter like for like is usually simple, but check with your council before changing its look, as planning rules differ across the UK. A short video of your shutter running, from Harlow or anywhere in Essex, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls.
Harlow is around 101 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. Postcodes we work in around here include CM17, CM18, CM19, and we also cover Bishop's Stortford, Hertford and Enfield nearby.

What does it cost in Harlow?
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 Harlow 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 Harlow shop can keep trading through the work.
Common questions
Can you come out to Harlow for a survey?
Yes. New shopfronts and full refurbishments get a free survey in Harlow. Repairs are a charged visit, and we tell you the cost of the visit before anyone comes out.
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.
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.
What do I do if my shop in Harlow 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.
