Questions about electric roller shutters in Ampthill
Do electric shutters need a new circuit?
Not always. Many can be fed from an existing circuit through a fused spur; larger groups may need a new circuit. We check at survey and the electrical work is done to BS 7671.
Can I control shutters from my phone?
Yes, with a compatible smart hub. You can open and close shutters from an app, set timers and scenes, and use voice assistants.
Is the survey free in Ampthill?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
Do I need permission for electric roller shutters in Ampthill?
Possibly. External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. We recommend checking with your local council first.
