Engineer repairing a roller shutter motor

Repairing your Hackney 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 Hackney or anywhere in Greater London, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls.

We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 105 miles away, and send fitting teams across London. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. We cover E5, E8, E9 and the surrounding streets, along with Islington, Stratford and Tottenham.

What do we fix in Hackney?

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

What does it cost in Hackney?

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 Hackney premises finds the fault, and you know that cost in advance. Most fitting can be done early, late or at weekends, so a Hackney shop can keep trading through the work.

Common questions

Can you come out to Hackney for a survey?

Yes. New shopfronts and full refurbishments get a free survey in Hackney. Repairs are a charged visit, and we tell you the cost of the visit before anyone comes out.

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.

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 you board up a shop in Hackney out of hours?

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