Questions about electric roller shutters in East Grinstead
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 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.
Is the survey free in East Grinstead?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
Do I need permission for electric roller shutters in East Grinstead?
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.
