When a roller shutter breaks, it becomes a major liability. Without its protection your property is at serious risk from thieves and fire which is why it needs to be repaired or replaced without delay. While it’s possible to fix roller shutters yourself if you know exactly what you’re doing, hiring a professional to do it for you is highly recommended. Not only is this because the damage could pose a potentially dangerous situation, but because roller shutters are such an important part of defending your premises.

If the roller shutter has become stuck either opening or closing, it may be because of general wear and tear or even rust preventing the shutter from moving as required. It is possible to locate the source of the problem and fix it yourself but please be aware the roller shutter can suddenly fall during this process which can cause further damage and cause serious injury to anyone in the surrounding area. For this reason, we highly recommend hiring a professional to carry out the repair on your behalf.
Another reason roller shutters stop functioning correctly is because the chain they operate on has become damaged and dysfunctional. The chain will be located at the top of the roller shutter, usually within a box which can be opened so you can inspect the condition of the chain. If the chain is found to be damaged, it will need to be changed for a like-for-like replacement. This can a fiddly operation and needs to be installed correctly to safeguard against damaging the roller shutter further so we recommend only undertaking the task if you’re competent and experienced at DIY.
Damaged or broken slats are a serious problem for roller shutters as they compromise the safety of not only your premises and stock but also of anyone inside. It is therefore vital to get them repaired as soon as possible.
