Roller shutter repairs in Sunderland
If a shutter at your Sunderland shop has stopped part way, do not force it, as a curtain under strain can bend or drop.
A short video of your shutter running, from Sunderland or anywhere in Tyne and Wear, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls. If a break-in has damaged a shutter in Sunderland or elsewhere in Tyne and Wear, ring our 24/7 emergency line and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call.
Sunderland is around 165 miles from our Birmingham base. Teams travel, so the distance is planned into the job and shown on your quote. Postcodes we work in around here include SR1, SR2, SR4, and we also cover Washington, Jarrow and South Shields nearby.
Which faults do we deal with in Sunderland?
What does it cost in Sunderland?
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.
Repairing your Sunderland shutter like for like is usually simple, but check with your council before changing its look, as planning rules differ across the UK. Tell us your opening hours when you book and we will plan the Sunderland job around them, with overnight or weekend fitting where the work allows.
Common questions
Can you come out to Sunderland for a survey?
Yes. New shopfronts and full refurbishments get a free survey in Sunderland. 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.
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.
Can you board up a shop in Sunderland out of hours?
Yes. The emergency line is open 24/7 for break-ins and smashed glass in Sunderland. We will tell you the arrival time when you call.
