Roller shutter repairs in Sittingbourne
If a break-in has damaged a shutter in Sittingbourne or elsewhere in Kent, ring our 24/7 emergency line and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call.
A short video of your shutter running, from Sittingbourne or anywhere in Kent, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls. If a shutter at your Sittingbourne shop has stopped part way, do not force it, as a curtain under strain can bend or drop.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 140 miles away, and send fitting teams across the South East. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. Our Sittingbourne work takes in ME9, ME10, ME12. Neighbouring Gillingham and Medway are covered too.

What does it cost in Sittingbourne?
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.
Repairing your Sittingbourne shutter like for like is usually simple, but check with your council before changing its look, as planning rules differ across the UK. If you can't close, we phase the work: one bay at a time, with the unit left secure and weathertight every night.
Common questions
Do you work in ME9, ME10, ME12?
Yes. Sittingbourne and the ME9, ME10, ME12 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.
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 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.
What do I do if my shop in Sittingbourne 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.
