Roller shutter repairs Greater Manchester

Repairing your Greater Manchester shutter like for like is usually simple, but check with your council before changing its look, as planning rules differ across the UK. If a shutter at your Greater Manchester shop has stopped part way, do not force it, as a curtain under strain can bend or drop.

What do we fix in Greater Manchester?

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.

Stuck open or closedWe find out whether the curtain, motor, brake or controls are the cause, then work out how to release it safely.

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

How much does it cost in Greater Manchester?

Expect £125 to £695 ex VAT for most repairs. Landlords with shuttered units in Greater Manchester and across the North West can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Greater Manchester?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Greater Manchester, including Altrincham, Ashton-under-Lyne, Bolton, Bury.

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.

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.

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.
