Frequently asked 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.
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.
How much do electric roller shutters cost in Hornchurch?
We use the same UK guide prices in Hornchurch; after the survey you get a fixed written price for your opening.
Do I need permission for electric roller shutters in Hornchurch?
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.
