Roller shutter repairs in Barking
Landlords with shuttered units in Barking and across Greater London can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams.
Repairing your Barking 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 Barking or anywhere in Greater London, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls.
Work in Barking is run from Birmingham, roughly 110 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. Jobs in IG11, RM8, RM9 are planned alongside Ilford and Woolwich.
What do we fix in Barking?
What does it cost in Barking?
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 Barking shop has stopped part way, do not force it, as a curtain under strain can bend or drop. 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
Can you come out to Barking for a survey?
Yes. New shopfronts and full refurbishments get a free survey in Barking. Repairs are a charged visit, and we tell you the cost of the visit before anyone comes out.
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.
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.
Can you board up a shop in Barking out of hours?
Yes. The emergency line is open 24/7 for break-ins and smashed glass in Barking. We will tell you the arrival time when you call.
