Frequently asked questions
Why is my push-up shutter heavy?
The springs that balance the curtain lose tension over time. Re-tensioning or replacing them usually fixes it.
Are manual shutters cheaper?
Yes, to buy and to run, but they cost staff time every day on busy premises.
Do I need permission for manual roller shutters in Peterhead?
It depends on the property. New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. Check with your council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
Is the survey free in Peterhead?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Peterhead are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
