Awning & Canopy Repair FAQs — Shoreditch
Can you repair a shop awning without removing it?
Yes. Most shopfront awning repairs are carried out in situ. The awning stays mounted and trading continues as normal.
What's included in a service visit?
Full operation test of manual and motorised mechanisms, fabric inspection, frame and fixing check, valance and stitching inspection, and a written report.
Can you repair awning fabric that has faded?
We can recover the awning in matched fabric, restoring colour and appearance without replacing the frame or mechanism. This is often much cheaper than a full awning replacement.
Do you cover all of London?
Yes. We cover every London borough and the wider M25 area with the same fast response and pricing model.
How long does an awning repair take?
Most repairs are completed within 1–3 hours. Fabric recovery and motor replacement may take longer — we'll advise when we quote.
Do you work with insurance claims?
Yes. We provide full documentation for insurance claims and can quote directly for insurer-funded awning repair work.
What types of commercial awnings and canopies do you repair?
We repair retractable awnings, folding arm awnings, cassette awnings, fixed frame canopies, traditional shopfront awnings, entrance canopies, walkway canopies and free-standing canopy structures.

We Repair — We Do Not Sell or Install
This is worth being completely clear about, because it's unusual in our industry.
We are a repair-only business. We do not sell new awnings. We do not install new awnings. We do not supply canopies. We do not subcontract to sales operations. Every single job we take on is a repair or a service to existing commercial awning and canopy equipment.
That means when you call us about a problem with a commercial awning in Shoreditch, you get advice from someone whose only interest is fixing what you already have. There is no incentive for us to tell you your awning is beyond repair when it isn't. There is no pressure to replace. There is no upsell.
If we can repair it, we will. If we genuinely can't, we'll tell you honestly — but we won't offer to sell you a replacement, because that's not what we do.
