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.

Yes, most makes and ages of shutter; photos and any labels help us bring the right parts to Guildford.
