Roller shutter repairs Margate

A short video of your shutter running, from Margate or anywhere in Kent, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls. Repairing your Margate shutter like for like is usually simple, but check with your council before changing its look, as planning rules differ across the UK.

Work in Margate is run from Birmingham, roughly 161 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. Our Margate work takes in CT8, CT9, CT11. Neighbouring Ramsgate and Deal are covered too.

What can we sort out in Margate?

Stuck open or closedWe find out whether the curtain, motor, brake or controls are the cause, then work out how to release it safely.

Manual shutters and springsSpring-balanced shutters hold stored tension, so spring work is left to trained hands rather than attempted by staff.

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 Margate?

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 Margate 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 Margate site clean.

Common questions

Do you cover Margate?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Margate and across Kent, including CT8, CT9, CT11. Call 0800 088 6341 or send the form with your postcode and we will confirm the details.

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.

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 Margate out of hours?

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