Roller shutter repairs in Kent

A short video of your shutter running, from Kent or anywhere in the South East, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls.

Engineer repairing a roller shutter motor

Where a video is not enough, a charged diagnostic visit to your Kent premises finds the fault, and you know that cost in advance. Landlords with shuttered units in Kent and across the South East can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams.

What do we fix in Kent?

Stuck open or closedWe find out whether the curtain, motor, brake or controls are the cause, then work out how to release it safely.
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.

Which towns do you cover?

Common questions

Do you cover all of Kent?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Kent, including Ashford, Canterbury, Chatham, Dartford.

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.

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.
