Questions about commercial roller shutters in Gravesend
What duty motor do I need?
It depends on how often the shutter opens. We ask about daily cycles at survey and size the motor and curtain so it is not overworked.
Can shutters be linked to our access control?
Yes, most commercial controls accept an input from access control, timers or alarm systems.
Do you cover Gravesend?
Yes. Gravesend and the DA12 postcode district are part of our coverage across Kent.
Do I need permission for commercial roller shutters in Gravesend?
It depends on the property. New external shutters on street-facing elevations usually need planning permission; internal counter shutters usually do not. Check with your local council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
