If a break-in has damaged a shutter in Oldham or elsewhere in Greater Manchester, ring our 24/7 emergency line and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call.

Engineer repairing a roller shutter motor

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

We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 70 miles away, and send fitting teams across the North West. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. Jobs in OL1, OL4, OL8 are planned alongside Failsworth and Middleton.

Which faults do we deal with in Oldham?

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.
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 Oldham?

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.

A short video of your shutter running, from Oldham or anywhere in Greater Manchester, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls. Most fitting can be done early, late or at weekends, so an Oldham shop can keep trading through the work.

Common questions

Do you cover Oldham?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Oldham and across Greater Manchester, including OL1, OL4, OL8. Call 0800 088 6341 or send the form with your postcode and we will confirm the details.

Can you repair any make of shutter?

Many faults can be repaired on most makes, because laths, guides, motors and controls come from common component suppliers. Where a part has been discontinued, we look for a compatible alternative and tell you before ordering it.

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.

Can you board up a shop in Oldham out of hours?

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