You do not have to do every window at once: in Farnworth we can fit the ground-floor windows first and match the colour and box on others later.
Each window in Farnworth is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.
We cover Farnworth and the BL4 postcode district as part of Greater Manchester; you book a survey here exactly as you would anywhere else. Other towns nearby that we cover include Walkden, Bolton and Radcliffe.

Questions about electric roller shutters in Farnworth
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.
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 Farnworth?
Yes. Farnworth and the BL4 postcode district are part of our coverage across Greater Manchester.
Do I need permission for electric roller shutters in Farnworth?
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.
