Roller shutter repairs in Watford

If a shutter at your Watford shop has stopped part way, do not force it, as a curtain under strain can bend or drop.

Engineer repairing a roller shutter motor

If a break-in has damaged a shutter in Watford or elsewhere in Hertfordshire, ring our 24/7 emergency line and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call. A short video of your shutter running, from Watford or anywhere in Hertfordshire, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls.

We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 89 miles away, and send fitting teams across the East of England. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. Postcodes we work in around here include WD1, WD17, WD18, and we also cover Harrow, St Albans and Hemel Hempstead nearby.

What can we sort out in Watford?

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 Watford?

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.

Landlords with shuttered units in Watford and across Hertfordshire can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams. Most fitting can be done early, late or at weekends, so a Watford shop can keep trading through the work.

Common questions

Do you cover Watford?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Watford and across Hertfordshire, including WD1, WD17, WD18. Call 0800 088 6341 or send the form with your postcode and we will confirm the details.

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 Watford 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.
