Questions about electric roller shutters in Livingston
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.
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.
Is the survey free in Livingston?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Livingston are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do I need permission for electric roller shutters in Livingston?
It depends on the property. External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. Check with your council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
