“Made a call at 8am this morning after one of our warehouse guys badly damaged our main shutter door, the door would not operate at all and was half way up. Made the call and what a great response, engineers arrived on-site at around 11am and successfully repaired the door. Could not afford to have this problem going in to the weekend.
Brilliant guys!” – Mark Google Review

Difficulty in Operation
If your roller shutters are hard to open or close, it may indicate issues with the motor (for electric shutters), springs, or tracks. Sticking or jamming is a clear sign that something is wrong.
Unusual Noises
Grinding, squeaking, or other unusual noises during operation can indicate problems with the motor, gears, or other mechanical parts. These noises often mean parts are worn out or need lubrication.
Visible Damage
Dents, cracks, or other visible damage to the shutter slats can compromise security and insulation. Damaged slats need to be repaired or replaced to maintain the shutter’s functionality and appearance.
Inconsistent Movement
If the roller shutter moves unevenly, tilts to one side, or gets stuck in certain positions, it may indicate an alignment issue or problems with the tracks and guides. This can lead to further damage if not addressed promptly.
Loss of Security or Insulation
If you notice drafts, light seeping through, or reduced security, the roller shutter’s seals may be damaged, or the structure may be compromised. This can affect the energy efficiency of your property and reduce the level of security provided by the shutters.
