Roller shutter repairs in Hinckley

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

Engineer repairing a roller shutter motor

If a shutter at your Hinckley shop has stopped part way, do not force it, as a curtain under strain can bend or drop. Repairing your Hinckley shutter like for like is usually simple, but check with your council before changing its look, as planning rules differ across the UK.

At roughly 22 miles from Great Barr, Hinckley is close to home for us. Survey visits are straightforward to arrange. Postcodes we work in around here include LE9, LE10, and we also cover Nuneaton, Bedworth and Atherstone nearby.

Which faults do we deal with in Hinckley?

Motor failureA failed motor is tested and replaced with a unit sized for the curtain and barrel.
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.

What does it cost in Hinckley?

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.

Tell us your opening hours when you book and we will plan the Hinckley job around them, with overnight or weekend fitting where the work allows.

Common questions

Do you cover Hinckley?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Hinckley and across Leicestershire, including LE9, LE10. 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.

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 Hinckley out of hours?

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