Questions about electric roller shutters in Magherafelt
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.
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.

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.
