Electric roller shutters in Letchworth Garden City: 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.
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.
Is the survey free in Letchworth Garden City?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Letchworth Garden City are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do I need permission for electric roller shutters in Letchworth Garden City?
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.
