Electric roller shutters in Newton Aycliffe: questions
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.
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.
Is the survey free in Newton Aycliffe?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Newton Aycliffe are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do I need permission for electric roller shutters in Newton Aycliffe?
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.
