Roller shutter repairs in Lancaster

A short video of your shutter running, from Lancaster or anywhere in Lancashire, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls.

Engineer repairing a roller shutter motor

Repairing your Lancaster shutter like for like is usually simple, but check with your council before changing its look, as planning rules differ across the UK. Where a video is not enough, a charged diagnostic visit to your Lancaster premises finds the fault, and you know that cost in advance.

Lancaster is around 110 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. Our Lancaster work takes in LA1, LA3, LA4. Neighbouring Morecambe and Fleetwood are covered too.

Which faults do we deal with in Lancaster?

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.
Bent or damaged lathsDamaged laths are slid out and replaced where the profile is available, without renewing the whole curtain.
Stuck open or closedWe find out whether the curtain, motor, brake or controls are the cause, then work out how to release it safely.

What does it cost in Lancaster?

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 Lancaster 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 Lancaster site clean.

Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Lancaster and across Lancashire, including LA1, LA3, LA4. Call 0800 088 6341 or send the form with your postcode and we will confirm the details.

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.
