The bars of Oberkampf, restaurants on rue Jean-Pierre-Timbaud, shops on rue de Charonne: in the 11th, metal shutters take knocks from deliveries, scooters and bins. We replace damaged slats and repair jammed shutters, 24/7: unjamming from €280.
Streets of bars, restaurants and shops: here are the areas where the 11th’s shutters work hardest.
The bars close late and take deliveries early: the shutter comes down and goes up at hours when a jam quickly becomes a problem. We come out after closing time as well as at dawn.
On rue de Lappe and rue de la Roquette, the shopfronts run from one bar to the next: a shutter dented or bent by an impact is repaired here slat by slat.
Designer boutiques and furniture shops: window displays meant to stay visible in the evening, for which a micro-perforated slat shutter is often preferred.
Local shops and mini-markets open late: we repair shutters and shutter locks, and replace any motor that has stopped responding.
A knock from a delivery trolley, a scooter reversing, a graffiti tag right across the width: the shutter looks beyond repair, but only a few slats are damaged. We replace them with slats of the same profile, usually without changing the whole curtain.
A tag can usually be cleaned off; a dented slat, on the other hand, catches in the guide rails and ends up jamming the shutter. When too many slats are affected, a new curtain, solid or micro-perforated, works out cheaper than a string of repairs. The price is set by quote, once we have examined the shutter.

A photo of the damaged slat, taken from the front, is enough for an initial estimate.
Yes, in most cases: the damaged slat is slid out from the side and replaced with a slat of the same profile. If that profile is no longer made, we will suggest replacing the lower part of the curtain.
Better not to wait: a dented slat wears the guide rails and makes the motor strain every time the shutter is raised or lowered. An early repair costs less than a shutter jammed on a Friday night.
Yes: we work 24/7, and a shutter that won’t come down at two in the morning is one of the calls we deal with. The amount is agreed with you before the technician sets off.
It protects the shop window while leaving it visible with the shutter down, which is what many shops in the faubourg are looking for. For a shopfront that often gets knocked, solid slats remain sturdier.
