Manual roller shutters in Barnet: 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.
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.
Is the survey free in Barnet?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Barnet are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
Do I need permission for manual roller shutters in Barnet?
Possibly. New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. We recommend checking with your local council first.
