Door roller shutters in Canvey Island: questions
Will it fit round my door handle?
The shutter runs in front of the door frame, so handles, letterboxes and door canopies are measured at survey and the guides are set out to clear them.
Can I get out if the door shutter is down?
Yes. The control is inside, and we fit a manual override so the shutter can be raised by hand if the power is off. We will not fit a shutter over your only exit that needs a key from inside.
Is the survey free in Canvey Island?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Canvey Island are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
