Roller shutter repairs St Albans

Landlords with shuttered units in St Albans and across Hertfordshire can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams. If a shutter at your St Albans shop has stopped part way, do not force it, as a curtain under strain can bend or drop.

St Albans is around 86 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. Jobs in AL1, AL2 are planned alongside Hatfield and Hemel Hempstead.

Which faults do we deal with in St Albans?

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

Controls and remotesKey switches, push buttons, receivers and handsets are tested and replaced, and limits are reset.

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 St Albans?

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.

Where a video is not enough, a charged diagnostic visit to your St Albans premises finds the fault, and you know that cost in advance. 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

Do you cover St Albans?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works in St Albans and across Hertfordshire, including AL1, AL2. Call 0800 088 6341 or send the form with your postcode and we will confirm the details.

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.

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 St Albans 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.
