Roller shutter repairs in Ramsgate

Repairing your Ramsgate 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

If a break-in has damaged a shutter in Ramsgate or elsewhere in Kent, ring our 24/7 emergency line and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call. Landlords with shuttered units in Ramsgate and across Kent can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams.

Work in Ramsgate is run from Birmingham, roughly 164 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. We cover CT9, CT10, CT11 and the surrounding streets, along with Margate, Deal and Herne Bay.

What do we fix in Ramsgate?

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

What does it cost in Ramsgate?

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.

Where a video is not enough, a charged diagnostic visit to your Ramsgate premises finds the fault, and you know that cost in advance. Tell us your opening hours when you book and we will plan the Ramsgate job around them, with overnight or weekend fitting where the work allows.

Common questions

Do you work in CT9, CT10, CT11?

Yes. Ramsgate and the CT9, CT10, CT11 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.

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 Ramsgate out of hours?

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