A broken or jammed shutter is more than an inconvenience — it leaves your premises, stock, and staff exposed. At Range Shop Fronts, our dedicated emergency repair engineers are positioned across Greater London so we can be on your doorstep in as little as 30 minutes, and no later than 60 minutes in the vast majority of cases.
We repair all types of commercial roller shutters — solid, perforated, punched hole, rolling grill, and security grilles — whether manual or electric. From a jammed motor and broken spring to snapped curtain slats and damaged locking bars, our engineers carry a comprehensive stock of parts and can resolve most faults on the first visit. Where a full repair requires specialist parts, we make your premises secure before leaving and return promptly to complete the work.

Our engineers handle all common commercial roller shutter faults. Most repairs are completed on the first visit — we stock the parts needed for the most frequent failures.
A failed motor is one of the most common emergency callouts. Our engineers carry replacement motors and control boards compatible with the most widely-used brands. Electric shutter non-responsive to controls, running continuously, or tripping the electrics — we diagnose and repair on-site.
A shutter jammed at any position — fully up, halfway, or barely off the ground — is an immediate security risk. Jams are most commonly caused by broken or worn springs, curtain displacement from the guides, or debris in the tracks. We clear the obstruction and restore full operation.
Impact damage from a vehicle, vandalism, or a break-in attempt can buckle or crack individual slats in the curtain. We replace damaged slats and realign the curtain to restore a secure, weather-tight barrier. Where damage is extensive, we can replace the full curtain assembly.
Manual shutters rely on torsion springs to balance the curtain weight. A broken spring causes the shutter to drop suddenly or become extremely heavy to operate — creating both a safety hazard and a security risk. We replace springs and reset tension so your shutter operates safely.
A locking bar that won't engage, a padlock eye that has been forced, or a locking mechanism damaged in a break-in attempt all require prompt attention. We repair or replace locking components and ensure your shutter meets the security standard your insurance policy requires.
Loss of remote control or key switch function can lock you out of your own premises. We diagnose whether the fault lies in the control unit, the receiver board, the limit switches, or the remote transmitter itself — and repair or replace the relevant component on-site.
Our engineers are trained and equipped to work on all commercial roller shutter systems used in London's retail, hospitality, and commercial premises.
Steel and aluminium solid curtain shutters for retail, industrial and commercial premises.
Punched and perforated curtain shutters that maintain visibility while providing security.
Open-link and pressed steel grill shutters for maximum ventilation and visibility.
All motor types, control systems, and manual counterbalance mechanisms.
Under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998, business owners are legally required to keep commercial shutters in safe working order. A faulty or unmaintained shutter can invalidate your insurance and expose you to legal liability. After any emergency repair, we can set up a planned maintenance contract to keep you compliant.
Call us immediately on 074 1232 3200. Our dispatch team will confirm your engineer's ETA and give you advice specific to your situation.
Do not force the shutter. Attempting to manually operate a jammed or mechanically failed shutter can cause further — and more expensive — damage to the curtain, guides, or motor.
Secure the area. If the shutter is stuck open, keep staff on the premises if possible and avoid leaving stock or valuables visible near the opening.
Note what happened. Was there a loud noise, a burning smell, or a power cut before the failure? This information helps our engineer diagnose the fault faster on arrival.
Contact your insurer if there was a break-in or vandalism — we can provide a written report for your claim once the repair is complete.
We've streamlined the emergency process so you spend less time waiting and more time secure.
Call 074 1232 3200 any time — day, night, weekend, or bank holiday. Our team answers immediately, takes your address and fault details, and dispatches the nearest available engineer.
The nearest engineer to your location is immediately dispatched. You'll receive a confirmed ETA. Our vans are stocked with the most common replacement parts for roller shutters across all major brands and types.

The engineer carries out the repair, tests the shutter through its full cycle, and confirms it is secure before leaving. If further work is needed, your premises are made safe and a follow-up appointment is booked.

Many companies say "fast response." We say 30 to 60 minutes across Greater London. Our engineers are strategically positioned so we can actually deliver on this — not as a marketing claim, but as a genuine service commitment.
