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 Strood?
New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. If you are unsure, ask your local council; we provide product details for any application.
Is the survey free in Strood?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Strood are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
