Roller shutter repairs in Folkestone
Repairing your Folkestone shutter like for like is usually simple, but check with your council before changing its look, as planning rules differ across the UK.
Landlords with shuttered units in Folkestone and across Kent can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams. Where a video is not enough, a charged diagnostic visit to your Folkestone premises finds the fault, and you know that cost in advance.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 166 miles away, and send fitting teams across the South East. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. Our Folkestone work takes in CT19, CT20. Neighbouring Dover and Ashford are covered too.

What does it cost in Folkestone?
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.
A short video of your shutter running, from Folkestone or anywhere in Kent, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls. Tell us your opening hours when you book and we will plan the Folkestone job around them, with overnight or weekend fitting where the work allows.
Common questions
Do you work in CT19, CT20?
Yes. Folkestone and the CT19, CT20 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.
Can you repair any make of shutter?
Many faults can be repaired on most makes, because laths, guides, motors and controls come from common component suppliers. Where a part has been discontinued, we look for a compatible alternative and tell you before ordering it.
What do I do if my shop in Folkestone 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.
