Fitting door roller shutters in Swansea
For back doors, French doors and bifolds in Swansea, the shutter is sized to the full frame so the curtain closes onto a level threshold or a bottom rail.
The box over a door in Swansea can be face-fixed, tucked under a soffit or built into an extension, and the survey shows which is possible.
We survey and install across West Glamorgan, and Swansea is one of the cities covered. Other towns nearby that we cover include Gorseinon, Neath and Llanelli.

Rules that apply in Swansea
In Swansea, as elsewhere in Wales, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the county or county borough council, or a national park authority).
- Getting out safely: A shutter over an exit door must open from inside quickly and without a key. We set the switch inside the door and add a manual override.
- Planning: Front-door shutters change how the house looks from the street, so check with your council first, especially in a conservation area or on a listed building.
- Electrics: Wired to BS 7671. Notifiable work in homes in England and Wales, such as a new circuit, is self-certified by a competent person scheme electrician or notified to building control.

Questions about door roller shutters in Swansea
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.
Can it be opened from outside?
With a key switch, keypad or remote, yes. Without one, it can only be opened from inside, which suits back doors.
Is the survey free in Swansea?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Swansea are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
