Roller shutter repairs South Shields

Landlords with shuttered units in South Shields and across Tyne and Wear can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams. Repairing your South 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 South Shields is run from Birmingham, roughly 171 miles away, with teams booked for the whole job so it is finished in one visit wherever possible. Jobs in NE29, NE30, NE33 are planned alongside North Shields and Jarrow.

What do we fix in South Shields?

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.

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

What does it cost in South 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 South Shields or anywhere in Tyne and Wear, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls. Most fitting can be done early, late or at weekends, so a South Shields shop can keep trading through the work.

Common questions

Can you come out to South Shields for a survey?

Yes. New shopfronts and full refurbishments get a free survey in South Shields. Repairs are a charged visit, and we tell you the cost of the visit before anyone comes out.

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.

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 you board up a shop in South Shields out of hours?

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