Electric roller shutters in Swadlincote: questions
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 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.
Do you cover Swadlincote?
Yes. Book a survey for any address in Swadlincote in the usual way; it is covered as part of Derbyshire.
Do I need permission for electric roller shutters in Swadlincote?
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.
