Frequently asked questions
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.
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 you cover Glenrothes?
Yes. Book a survey for any address in Glenrothes in the usual way; it is covered as part of Fife.
Do I need permission for electric roller shutters in Glenrothes?
Possibly. External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. We recommend checking with your council first.
