Electric roller shutters in Birmingham
We survey and install across West Midlands, and Birmingham is one of the cities covered. We also cover Smethwick, West Bromwich and Shirley, so premises in more than one of these places can be quoted together.
Bedroom shutters in Birmingham can run on a timer, closing at night and opening in the morning without anyone touching a switch.
Each window in Birmingham is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.

Electric roller shutters in Birmingham: questions
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.
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.
Is the survey free in Birmingham?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Birmingham are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
Do I need permission for electric roller shutters in Birmingham?
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.
