Window shutters are usually chosen for security when a house is empty, for blackout in bedrooms or for keeping summer heat off the glass, and the survey in Rochester starts with which of those matters most to you.
Each window in Rochester is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.

Questions about electric roller shutters in Rochester
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.
Is the survey free in Rochester?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Rochester are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
How much do electric roller shutters cost in Rochester?
We use the same UK guide prices in Rochester; after the survey you get a fixed written price for your opening.
