Roller shutter repairs in Aberdeen

Repairing your Aberdeen 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

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

We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 318 miles away, and send fitting teams across Scotland. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. Jobs in AB10, AB11, AB24 are planned alongside nearby towns and nearby towns.

What do we fix in Aberdeen?

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

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 Aberdeen and across Scotland can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams. Tell us your opening hours when you book and we will plan the Aberdeen job around them, with overnight or weekend fitting where the work allows.

Common questions

Do you cover Aberdeen?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Aberdeen and across Scotland, including AB10, AB11, AB24. Call 0800 088 6341 or send the form with your postcode and we will confirm the details.

A vehicle hit my shutter. Can it be repaired?

Often yes. Damaged laths can be replaced, but a bent barrel or distorted guides may need new parts or a new shutter. We can provide photos and an itemised invoice for an insurer, although the outcome of any claim is for them to decide.

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 the same rules apply in Scotland?

Rules differ in Scotland, so we confirm what applies to your premises before work starts.

Can you board up a shop in Aberdeen out of hours?

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