Electric roller shutters in Newtownards: questions
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.
How long do shutter motors last?
A good tubular motor commonly lasts many years in domestic use. If one fails it can be replaced without replacing the whole shutter.
How much do electric roller shutters cost in Newtownards?
We use the same UK guide prices in Newtownards; after the survey you get a fixed written price for your opening.
Do I need permission for electric roller shutters in Newtownards?
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.
