The good news? A little preparation goes a long way.
Here’s our best-practice guide to protecting your home or business — and what to do if damage unfortunately occurs.
Roller shutters are one of the best ways to protect your windows and doors — when used correctly.
✔ Check shutters are operating smoothly
✔ Clear any debris from the tracks
✔ Make sure nothing is obstructing the opening
✔ Fully lower and secure your roller shutters
✔ Do not leave shutters half open in windy conditions
✔ Avoid operating motorised shutters during peak storm activity
When fully closed, roller shutters help protect against debris impact and reduce the risk of broken glass and water ingress.
Outdoor blinds are fantastic for shade, privacy and rain protection — but not designed for strong, gusty winds.
✔ Retract or raise blinds completely
✔ Never leave blinds partially down in gusty conditions
✔ Secure loose outdoor furniture or objects nearby
High winds can cause fabric tearing, track damage or motor strain if blinds are left extended.
If you operate a shop, café or commercial property, storm prep should be part of your routine:
• Assign staff to secure shutters and retract blinds when warnings are issued
• Act early — don’t wait until the storm has arrived
Procedural storm preparation is always more cost-effective than emergency repairs.
Even with the best preparation, severe weather can sometimes cause damage. If your roller shutters or outdoor blinds have been affected, our experienced team can assist with:
✔ Emergency call-outs
✔ Motor repairs or replacements
✔ Track and slat repairs
✔ Fabric replacements
✔ Insurance repair work
We’ll assess the damage quickly and provide honest advice on repair versus replacement.
If you have concerns before a storm — or need assistance after one — get in touch with our friendly team.
