Roller shutter repairs in Urmston
Repairing your Urmston shutter like for like is usually simple, but check with your council before changing its look, as planning rules differ across the UK.
Landlords with shuttered units in Urmston and across Greater Manchester can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams. Where a video is not enough, a charged diagnostic visit to your Urmston premises finds the fault, and you know that cost in advance.
Urmston is around 65 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. We cover M17, M32, M41 and the surrounding streets, along with Stretford, Sale and Eccles.
Which faults do we deal with in Urmston?
What does it cost in Urmston?
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.
If a shutter at your Urmston shop has stopped part way, do not force it, as a curtain under strain can bend or drop. If you can't close, we phase the work: one bay at a time, with the unit left secure and weathertight every night.
Common questions
Can you come out to Urmston for a survey?
Yes. New shopfronts and full refurbishments get a free survey in Urmston. Repairs are a charged visit, and we tell you the cost of the visit before anyone comes out.
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 Urmston 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.
