Roller shutter repairs in Ilford

Where a video is not enough, a charged diagnostic visit to your Ilford premises finds the fault, and you know that cost in advance.

Engineer repairing a roller shutter motor

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

We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 108 miles away, and send fitting teams across London. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. Jobs in IG1, IG2, IG3 are planned alongside Barking and Stratford.

Which faults do we deal with in Ilford?

Bent or damaged lathsDamaged laths are slid out and replaced where the profile is available, without renewing the whole curtain.
Manual shutters and springsSpring-balanced shutters hold stored tension, so spring work is left to trained hands rather than attempted by staff.
Stuck open or closedWe find out whether the curtain, motor, brake or controls are the cause, then work out how to release it safely.

What does it cost in Ilford?

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.

Repairing your Ilford shutter like for like is usually simple, but check with your council before changing its look, as planning rules differ across the UK. Tell us your opening hours when you book and we will plan the Ilford job around them, with overnight or weekend fitting where the work allows.

Common questions

Do you cover Ilford?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Ilford and across Greater London, including IG1, IG2, IG3. Call 0800 088 6341 or send the form with your postcode and we will confirm the details.

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.

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 Ilford 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.
