Questions about electric roller shutters in Ilford

Yes, with a compatible smart hub. You can open and close shutters from an app, set timers and scenes, and use voice assistants.

Tubular motors are quiet; most of the sound you hear is the laths rolling, which is a soft whirr.
Do you cover Ilford?
Yes. Ilford and the IG1 postcode district are part of our coverage across Greater London.
Do I need permission for electric roller shutters in Ilford?
Possibly. External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. We recommend checking with your local council first.
