Engineer repairing a roller shutter motor

If a break-in has damaged a shutter in North Shields or elsewhere in Tyne and Wear, ring our 24/7 emergency line and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call. Repairing your North Shields shutter like for like is usually simple, but check with your council before changing its look, as planning rules differ across the UK.

Work in North Shields is run from Birmingham, roughly 172 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. Postcodes we work in around here include NE26, NE29, NE30, and we also cover South Shields, Whitley Bay and Jarrow nearby.

What can we sort out in North Shields?

Stuck open or closedWe find out whether the curtain, motor, brake or controls are the cause, then work out how to release it safely.
Bent or damaged lathsDamaged laths are slid out and replaced where the profile is available, without renewing the whole curtain.
Motor failureA failed motor is tested and replaced with a unit sized for the curtain and barrel.

What does it cost in North Shields?

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.

A short video of your shutter running, from North Shields or anywhere in Tyne and Wear, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls. Tell us your opening hours when you book and we will plan the North Shields job around them, with overnight or weekend fitting where the work allows.

Common questions

Do you work in NE26, NE29, NE30?

Yes. North Shields and the NE26, NE29, NE30 postcodes are covered, as is the rest of Tyne and Wear. Send your postcode with your enquiry and we will come back to you with the next step.

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.

Can you board up a shop in North Shields out of hours?

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