Manual roller shutters in Gravesend: questions
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.

Yes. Gravesend and the DA12 postcode district are part of our coverage across Kent.
Is the survey free in Gravesend?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Gravesend are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
