Electric roller shutters in Atherton: 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.
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.
Do you cover Atherton?
Yes. Atherton and the M46 postcode district are part of our coverage across Greater Manchester.
Is the survey free in Atherton?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
