Why has my roller shutter stopped working? Most shutters stop working because of one of five things: a broken spring, a failed motor or limit switch, a curtain that has left its guide, a seized bearing or a control fault. An engineer can usually identify which within the first visit, and many are fixed there and then.
What are the signs you need roller shutter repairs?
- Shutter stops part-way or drops unevenly
- Grinding, banging or scraping when it moves
- Curtain has come out of one guide rail
- Shutter will not lock at the bottom
What does the engineer do?
- Full inspection of curtain, guides, barrel and drive
- Re-seat or re-align the curtain in its guides
- Replace worn or broken components on the spot where stock allows
- Test run and safety check before handover
Prices vary with shutter width, the make and model, whether parts are in stock and whether you need an out-of-hours visit. You receive the exact figure in writing once the fault has been diagnosed, and nothing is fitted until you agree it.
