Roller shutter repairs Gillingham

If a shutter at your Gillingham shop has stopped part way, do not force it, as a curtain under strain can bend or drop. Repairing your Gillingham shutter like for like is usually simple, but check with your council before changing its look, as planning rules differ across the UK.

Gillingham is around 131 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. We cover ME7, ME8 and the surrounding streets, along with Medway, Chatham and Gravesend.

What can we sort out in Gillingham?

Bent or damaged lathsDamaged laths are slid out and replaced where the profile is available, without renewing the whole curtain.

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.

What does it cost in Gillingham?

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 Gillingham and across Kent can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams. We protect the pavement and your stock, keep the opening secure at the end of every shift, and leave the Gillingham site clean.

Common questions

Can you come out to Gillingham for a survey?

Yes. New shopfronts and full refurbishments get a free survey in Gillingham. Repairs are a charged visit, and we tell you the cost of the visit before anyone comes out.

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.

Can you board up a shop in Gillingham out of hours?

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