Roller shutter repairs in Herne Bay

Repairing your Herne Bay shutter like for like is usually simple, but check with your council before changing its look, as planning rules differ across the UK.

Engineer repairing a roller shutter motor

Landlords with shuttered units in Herne Bay 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 Herne Bay premises finds the fault, and you know that cost in advance.

Herne Bay is around 152 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. We cover CT1, CT2, CT5 and the surrounding streets, along with Canterbury, Margate and Ramsgate.

Which faults do we deal with in Herne Bay?

Bent or damaged lathsDamaged laths are slid out and replaced where the profile is available, without renewing the whole curtain.
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.
Motor failureA failed motor is tested and replaced with a unit sized for the curtain and barrel.

What does it cost in Herne Bay?

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 Herne Bay or anywhere in Kent, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls. Most fitting can be done early, late or at weekends, so a Herne Bay shop can keep trading through the work.

Common questions

Do you work in CT1, CT2, CT5?

Yes. Herne Bay and the CT1, CT2, CT5 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.

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 Herne Bay out of hours?

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