Questions about manual roller shutters in Cardigan
Can a manual shutter be motorised later?
In most cases yes, by fitting a motor inside the barrel or a gear motor on the side.
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.
Is the survey free in Cardigan?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
Do I need permission for manual roller shutters in Cardigan?
It depends on the property. New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. Check with your local council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
