Roller shutter repairs Southend-on-Sea

Landlords with shuttered units in Southend-on-Sea and across Essex can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams. If a shutter at your Southend-on-Sea shop has stopped part way, do not force it, as a curtain under strain can bend or drop.

Work in Southend-on-Sea is run from Birmingham, roughly 131 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 SS0, SS1, SS2, and we also cover Basildon, Gillingham and Medway nearby.

Which faults do we deal with in Southend-on-Sea?

Manual shutters and springsSpring-balanced shutters hold stored tension, so spring work is left to trained hands rather than attempted by staff.

Controls and remotesKey switches, push buttons, receivers and handsets are tested and replaced, and limits are reset.

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 Southend-on-Sea?

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 break-in has damaged a shutter in Southend-on-Sea or elsewhere in Essex, ring our 24/7 emergency line and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call. 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 cover Southend-on-Sea?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Southend-on-Sea and across Essex, including SS0, SS1, SS2. Call 0800 088 6341 or send the form with your postcode and we will confirm the details.

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.

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 Southend-on-Sea 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.
