High-quality window roller shutters add incredible value to a property and offer a vast array of incredible benefits. However, even the best shutters may need repairs from time to time. You might be tempted to repair roller shutters yourself, after all, it doesn’t look that hard does it? Before you take the DIY path, you might want to think twice.
At SCH Blinds, we are often asked about DIY roller shutter repairs by budget-conscious homeowners who want to save money where possible. Read on to find out why it may not be the best option.
Things to Consider About DIY Roller Shutter Repairs
DIY is an attractive option when it comes to projects around the home, and in some cases it can be a great budget-friendly solution as long as the proper care is taken, and manufacturer’s instructions are strictly followed. While DIY can save you money in some cases, it’s important to keep in mind that without the appropriate skill and expertise, even a simple job can end up more time consuming and more costly in the long run.
- DIY roller shutter repairs will likely take longer than anticipated. If you are not handy with tools and experienced working with intricate components, it is almost guaranteed to take a much longer period of time, and you may end up calling the experts.
- There is little room for error. Mistakes can be very difficult to fix and can even be dangerous. Roller shutters may need repairs due to a variety of reasons, electrical faults being a major reason. When working with electrical components it is essential to engage professionals so that safety isn’t compromised.
- The right equipment and tools are required. Often this means you will need to hire, rent, or buy new tools as well as learn how to use them safely and appropriately to ensure a professional result.
- Once the product has been tampered with, it could possibly cost more to fix and install and warranty void.
If you’re a qualified tradesperson, or if you are very experienced in using a wide range of tools then DIY repairs might be ok. However, it is important to keep in mind that roller shutters are constructed with hundreds of parts and components and require specialised expertise for the best result. If your shutters are electric, you will still need to organise a qualified electrician.
