Roller shutter repairs Dover

If a break-in has damaged a shutter in Dover or elsewhere in Kent, ring our 24/7 emergency line and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call. Repairing your Dover shutter like for like is usually simple, but check with your council before changing its look, as planning rules differ across the UK.

Dover is around 169 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. We cover CT14, CT16, CT17 and the surrounding streets, along with Folkestone, Deal and Canterbury.

What do we fix in Dover?

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.

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 Dover?

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 shutter at your Dover shop has stopped part way, do not force it, as a curtain under strain can bend or drop. We protect the pavement and your stock, keep the opening secure at the end of every shift, and leave the Dover site clean.

Common questions

Do you work in CT14, CT16, CT17?

Yes. Dover and the CT14, CT16, CT17 postcodes are covered, as is the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we will come back to you with the next step.

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.

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.

What do I do if my shop in Dover 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.
