Default Electric shutter repairs - East Algarve

Hi All

My electrical shutters are stuck and are in need of an overhaul - can anyone recommend companies who will repair and service shutters in the Tavira area?

I can recommend this guy. Works hard and fast and knows what he is doing. He doesn't speak english to well. This is the mobile telephone number for Senhor Orlando. 968036976. He is in Sao Bras. I did try the people under the bridge by the market called Solvester, or similar. They were a disaster. One guy had no idea the shutter was electric! As for programming them to the controllers, well I had to forget that. I was worried they would seriously break something and couldn't get them out the house soon enough.
This is Snr Orlando's email. Use that and Google or Deepl to translate and I am sure he will get the gist of what you want. Please do update with how you get on. I have not seem him for a long time as all is working well thanks to him.

Thanks Fergus, unfortunately he's not answering calls or messages. I'll try DR Automatismos again, although last time they didnt fix the problem.

Did you ever get your electric shutters sorted out ? I have used an English chap, lived in the Algarve most of his life. He can do just about anything and is good. Let me know if you would like his details.

That's great. I am not Robbie, that was my dog's name. I am female but just used Robbie as a user name. He is very good so hopefully he will have time to do the job for you.

Sorry all, but I’ve just gone through and deleted all mentions of the phone number - BE is a public forum so it’ll get picked up by every spambot & weirdo out there! It’s no problem to put a link to his FB page or website though, but if you want the telephone number please only share that via PM.

Ta muchly.

Got Tony via Facebook. He came from a job in Carveiro direct to Vilamoura. Got the shutter working again and is ordering six new slats
Absolutely first class service and great job. These guys know what they are doing Highly recommend
