Roller shutter repairs in Wednesfield
A short video of your shutter running, from Wednesfield or anywhere in the West Midlands, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls.
If a shutter at your Wednesfield shop has stopped part way, do not force it, as a curtain under strain can bend or drop. Landlords with shuttered units in Wednesfield and across the West Midlands can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams.
Wednesfield is about 8 miles from our Great Barr base in Birmingham, so surveys are easy to plan. We cover WV10, WV11, WV14 and the surrounding streets, along with Willenhall, Wolverhampton and Bilston.

What does it cost in Wednesfield?
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 Wednesfield shutter like for like is usually simple, but check with your council before changing its look, as planning rules differ across the UK. If you can't close, we phase the work: one bay at a time, with the unit left secure and weathertight every night.
Common questions
Do you cover Wednesfield?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Wednesfield and across the West Midlands, including WV10, WV11, WV14. Call 0800 088 6341 or send the form with your postcode and we will confirm the details.
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 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.
What do I do if my shop in Wednesfield is broken into?
Call the police first if a crime is in progress, then call our 24/7 line on 0800 088 6341. We will tell you the arrival time when you call, and board up or reglaze so the premises are secure.
