But before calling for help, you might be wondering:
Why Do Roller Shutters Suddenly Stop Working?
Here are the top 7 most common reasons why businesses in London call us for urgent shutter repair.
1. Shutter Won’t Open or Close Completely
If your shutter is stuck halfway or making noise while moving, it’s usually due to jammed tracks, damaged rollers or loose alignment. Forcing it can make it worse — call an expert immediately.
2. Motor Failure in Electric Shutters
Electric roller shutters often fail due to overheating, worn-out motors or faulty wiring. A quick motor replacement can restore full functionality within minutes.
3. Remote or Key Switch Not Working
If your roller shutter remote or switch is unresponsive, the issue could be with the control panel or power supply. This is a common late-night emergency, especially for supermarkets and off-licences.
4. Shutter Misalignment After Impact or Break-In Attempt
Has someone tried to pull or force your shutter open? Even minor vandalism can knock the shutter off its track. Immediate repair is essential for security.
5. Grinding or Scraping Noise While Operating
Loud, unpleasant noises indicate worn bearings, loose screws or lack of lubrication. Ignoring this can lead to complete breakdown.
6. Weather Damage or Rust Build-Up
London weather isn’t always kind. Moisture and rust can weaken the shutter panels or side rails — leading to sudden failure.
7. Power Cut? Shutter Stuck in Closed Position
During power failure, electric shutters may stop working. We offer manual override installation and emergency unlocking services 24/7.
