Electric roller shutters in Northumberland: questions
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.
Are electric shutters noisy?
Tubular motors are quiet; most of the sound you hear is the laths rolling, which is a soft whirr.
Is the survey free in Northumberland?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Northumberland are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do I need permission for electric roller shutters in Northumberland?
External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. If you are unsure, ask your local council; we provide product details for any application.
