Roller shutter repairs in Dartford

If a shutter at your Dartford 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 Dartford or elsewhere in Kent, 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 Dartford or anywhere in Kent, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls.

We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 118 miles away, and send fitting teams across the South East. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. Postcodes we work in around here include DA1, and we also cover Grays, Thurrock and Gravesend nearby.

What can we sort out in Dartford?

Controls and remotesKey switches, push buttons, receivers and handsets are tested and replaced, and limits are reset.
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.
Manual shutters and springsSpring-balanced shutters hold stored tension, so spring work is left to trained hands rather than attempted by staff.

What does it cost in Dartford?

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 Dartford and across Kent can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams. 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 Dartford?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Dartford and across Kent, including DA1. 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.

What do I do if my shop in Dartford 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.
