Frequently asked questions
Can I replace the motor without replacing the shutter?
Yes, in most cases. The motor slides out of the barrel or unbolts from the side.
How do I know if my shutter motor has failed?
If the shutter hums but does not move, stops part way, or does nothing when the power and switch are fine, the motor or its limits are the likely cause. We test before replacing.
Do you work on shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes, most makes and ages of shutter; photos and any labels help us bring the right parts to Rayleigh.
Do you charge for a visit in Rayleigh?
Yes. Repair and service visits are charged at the rate we give you when you book. Surveys for new installations are free.
