Roller shutter repairs Chatham

Repairing your Chatham shutter like for like is usually simple, but check with your council before changing its look, as planning rules differ across the UK. A short video of your shutter running, from Chatham or anywhere in Kent, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls.

Work in Chatham is run from Birmingham, roughly 131 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. We cover ME1, ME2, ME4 and the surrounding streets, along with Medway, Gillingham and Maidstone.

What do we fix in Chatham?

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.

Curtain out of its guidesImpact and wear can push the curtain out of the guide rails. We refit it and straighten or replace the guides.

What does it cost in Chatham?

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 break-in has damaged a shutter in Chatham or elsewhere in Kent, ring our 24/7 emergency line and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call. We protect the pavement and your stock, keep the opening secure at the end of every shift, and leave the Chatham site clean.

Common questions

Do you cover Chatham?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Chatham and across Kent, including ME1, ME2, ME4. 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.

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 Chatham out of hours?

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