Roller shutter repairs in Wakefield

A short video of your shutter running, from Wakefield or anywhere in West Yorkshire, helps us work out whether the fault is the curtain, motor or controls.

Engineer repairing a roller shutter motor

Where a video is not enough, a charged diagnostic visit to your Wakefield premises finds the fault, and you know that cost in advance. If a break-in has damaged a shutter in Wakefield or elsewhere in West Yorkshire, ring our 24/7 emergency line and we'll tell you the arrival time when you call.

Wakefield is around 81 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 WF1, WF2, WF3, and we also cover Ossett, Normanton and Dewsbury nearby.

What can we sort out in Wakefield?

Stuck open or closedWe find out whether the curtain, motor, brake or controls are the cause, then work out how to release it safely.
Manual shutters and springsSpring-balanced shutters hold stored tension, so spring work is left to trained hands rather than attempted by staff.
Bent or damaged lathsDamaged laths are slid out and replaced where the profile is available, without renewing the whole curtain.

What does it cost in Wakefield?

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.

Landlords with shuttered units in Wakefield and across West Yorkshire can move to planned servicing, rather than only calling when a shutter jams. Most fitting can be done early, late or at weekends, so a Wakefield shop can keep trading through the work.

Common questions

Do you cover Wakefield?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works in Wakefield and across West Yorkshire, including WF1, WF2, WF3. 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 Wakefield 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.
