Fitting electric roller shutters in Clacton-on-Sea

You do not have to do every window at once: in Clacton-on-Sea we can fit the ground-floor windows first and match the colour and box on others later.
Each window in Clacton-on-Sea is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.
Surveys in Clacton-on-Sea and the surrounding area are arranged directly with you, as part of our coverage across Essex. Harwich, Colchester and Felixstowe are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.

Questions about electric roller shutters in Clacton-on-Sea
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.
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.
