Frequently asked questions
Are aluminium shutters strong enough for a shop?
Extruded aluminium shutters are very robust and suit many shops; very wide or high-risk openings may still be better in steel.
What colours can I have?
White, anthracite, black, cream, silver, brown and woodgrains as standard, plus RAL colours to order.
Do I need permission for aluminium roller shutters in Harwich?
New external shutters on shopfronts usually need planning permission; for houses it depends on the property, and listed buildings need consent. If you are unsure, ask your local council; we provide product details for any application.
Is the survey free in Harwich?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Harwich are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
