Electric roller shutters in South Shields: questions
Are electric shutters noisy?
Tubular motors are quiet; most of the sound you hear is the laths rolling, which is a soft whirr.
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.
Do you cover South Shields?
Yes. Book a survey for any address in South Shields in the usual way; it is covered as part of Tyne and Wear.
Do I need permission for electric roller shutters in South Shields?
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.
