Roller shutter repairs in Somerset
Repairing your Somerset shutter like for like is usually simple, but check with your council before changing its look, as planning rules differ across the UK.
A short video of your shutter running, from Somerset or anywhere in the South West, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls. If a shutter at your Somerset shop has stopped part way, do not force it, as a curtain under strain can bend or drop.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Somerset?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Somerset, including Bath, Bridgwater, Frome, Glastonbury.
How often should a shop roller shutter be serviced?
Follow the maker's or installer's instructions, because the interval depends on the shutter and how often it runs. Many owners book one planned service a year. Powered shutters at work premises must be kept safe, so a written service record is worth keeping.
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.
