Questions about electric roller shutters in Tunbridge Wells
Are electric shutters noisy?
Tubular motors are quiet; most of the sound you hear is the laths rolling, which is a soft whirr.
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 I need permission for electric roller shutters in Tunbridge Wells?
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.
Is the survey free in Tunbridge Wells?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
