Electric roller shutters in Boston: 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.
Are electric shutters noisy?
Tubular motors are quiet; most of the sound you hear is the laths rolling, which is a soft whirr.
Do you cover Boston?
Yes. Book a survey for any address in Boston in the usual way; it is covered as part of Lincolnshire.
Is the survey free in Boston?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Boston are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
