Engineer repairing a roller shutter motor

Where a video is not enough, a charged diagnostic visit to your Prescot premises finds the fault, and you know that cost in advance. A short video of your shutter running, from Prescot or anywhere in Merseyside, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls.

We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 72 miles away, and send fitting teams across the North West. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. Postcodes we work in around here include L34, L35, L36, and we also cover Huyton, St Helens and Kirkby nearby.

What do we fix in Prescot?

Bent or damaged lathsDamaged laths are slid out and replaced where the profile is available, without renewing the whole curtain.
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.
Motor failureA failed motor is tested and replaced with a unit sized for the curtain and barrel.

What does it cost in Prescot?

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.

Landlords with shuttered units in Prescot and across Merseyside can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams. We protect the pavement and your stock, keep the opening secure at the end of every shift, and leave the Prescot site clean.

Common questions

Do you cover Prescot?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Prescot and across Merseyside, including L34, L35, L36. 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 Prescot out of hours?

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