Engineer repairing a roller shutter motor

Landlords with shuttered units in Eccles and across Greater Manchester can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams. A short video of your shutter running, from Eccles or anywhere in Greater Manchester, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls.

We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 67 miles away, and send fitting teams across the North West. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. We cover M6, M17, M27 and the surrounding streets, along with Swinton, Salford and Stretford.

What do we fix in Eccles?

Bent or damaged lathsDamaged laths are slid out and replaced where the profile is available, without renewing the whole curtain.
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.
Controls and remotesKey switches, push buttons, receivers and handsets are tested and replaced, and limits are reset.

What does it cost in Eccles?

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 Eccles 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 Eccles job around them, with overnight or weekend fitting where the work allows.

Common questions

Can you come out to Eccles for a survey?

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

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.

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 Eccles out of hours?

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