Roller shutter repairs in Islington

If a shutter at your Islington shop has stopped part way, do not force it, as a curtain under strain can bend or drop.

Where a video is not enough, a charged diagnostic visit to your Islington premises finds the fault, and you know that cost in advance. A short video of your shutter running, from Islington or anywhere in Greater London, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls.

Islington is around 103 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. We cover EC1, EC1R, EC1V and the surrounding streets, along with Hackney, London and Tottenham.

What can we sort out in Islington?

Controls and remotesKey switches, push buttons, receivers and handsets are tested and replaced, and limits are reset.
Manual shutters and springsSpring-balanced shutters hold stored tension, so spring work is left to trained hands rather than attempted by staff.
Bent or damaged lathsDamaged laths are slid out and replaced where the profile is available, without renewing the whole curtain.

What does it cost in Islington?

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 Islington shutter like for like is usually simple, but check with your council before changing its look, as planning rules differ across the UK. We protect the pavement and your stock, keep the opening secure at the end of every shift, and leave the Islington site clean.

Common questions

Do you work in EC1, EC1R, EC1V?

Yes. Islington and the EC1, EC1R, EC1V postcodes are covered, as is the rest of Greater London. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we will come back to you with the next step.

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.

What do I do if my shop in Islington 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.
