Frequently asked questions
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.
Are electric shutters noisy?
Tubular motors are quiet; most of the sound you hear is the laths rolling, which is a soft whirr.
Do I need permission for electric roller shutters in Islington?
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.
Do you cover Islington?
Yes. Book a survey for any address in Islington in the usual way; it is covered as part of Greater London.
