Questions about electric roller shutters in Eastbourne
Are electric shutters noisy?
Tubular motors are quiet; most of the sound you hear is the laths rolling, which is a soft whirr.
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 you cover Eastbourne?
Yes. Eastbourne and the BN21 postcode district are part of our coverage across East Sussex.
Do I need permission for electric roller shutters in Eastbourne?
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.
