Common Issues &
What We Do About Them
Our engineers are experienced with every type of fault. Whatever the problem with your shutter, call us — we will have seen it before.
Shutter Not Opening
The most urgent fault — your premises cannot be accessed. We diagnose motor failure, jammed tracks, broken springs, and power faults, restoring access across Essex within 2 hours.
Shutter Not Closing
A shutter that won't close leaves your premises unprotected. Whether caused by motor failure, obstruction, or limit switch faults, we treat this as a security emergency and attend immediately.
Electric Motor Failure
Motor failure is the most common fault on electric shutters. We carry motors for all major makes and complete most motor replacements in a single visit, anywhere in Essex.
Spring and Cable Failure
Manual shutters rely on springs and cables for counterbalance. Failure makes the shutter dangerously heavy or inoperable. Spring work must be done by a qualified engineer.
Impact and Collision Damage
Slat damage, bent guide rails, and buckled curtain sections from vehicle or forklift impact. We repair or replace only the damaged components to keep costs proportionate.
Grinding or Stiff Operation
Unusual noise and resistance during operation signals wear, misalignment, or lack of lubrication. Addressing it early avoids a more expensive failure later.
Remote and Control Faults
Remotes, wall panels, and control boards all fail over time. We carry replacement units for all systems and can re-programme them on site across Essex.
Limit Switch Problems
Incorrect limit switch settings cause shutters to stop too early or run past the end of travel. We reset or replace limit switches on all makes and sizes.
