Why has my shutter remote stopped working? Common causes are flat fob batteries, a receiver that has lost its codes, water in the key switch or a tripped isolator. The engineer tests each in turn and re-codes or replaces only the part that has failed.

How much does remote control and switch repairs cost?
A typical guide price is £85 to £260 excluding VAT. Shutter width, make, parts availability and out-of-hours attendance move the figure up or down, and the final price is confirmed in writing before work starts.
