Roller shutter repairs in Cowes: questions
My shutter came down on its own, is it safe?
Keep people away from it and do not try to lift it by hand; a broken spring or failed brake can make it move unexpectedly. Call us and we will make it safe.
Why has my roller shutter stopped working?
Common causes are a tripped or failed motor, limits that have drifted, laths jumping out of a guide, a broken spring on manual shutters, or a jammed lock. Photos help us diagnose it before we visit.
Do you work on shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We work on most makes of domestic, shop and industrial roller shutter, wherever they came from.
Do you cover Cowes?
Yes, by arrangement. Cowes is an island town, so visits are planned ahead around the crossing, and any travel cost is quoted in advance.
