What the repair involves in Edinburgh and Lothians
Shutter slat and curtain replacement usually starts with the engineer watching the shutter run, if it runs at all, then checking the parts most likely to be at fault. Dented, split or bowed slats swapped out, or a full new curtain made. Where the part is carried on the van the job is often finished the same visit.
- Measure lath profile and gauge to match your existing curtain
- Replace individual slats where the rest are sound
- Make a full replacement curtain where damage is widespread
- Re-hang, re-align and test
