Questions about electric roller shutters in Runcorn
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 my manual shutters be made electric?
Usually yes. A motor can be fitted inside the existing barrel, as long as the shutter is in reasonable condition.
Do I need permission for electric roller shutters in Runcorn?
It depends on the property. External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. Check with your local council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
Is the survey free in Runcorn?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Runcorn are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
