Frequently asked questions
Are manual shutters cheaper?
Yes, to buy and to run, but they cost staff time every day on busy premises.
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.
Do you cover East Kilbride?
Yes. East Kilbride and the G74 postcode district are part of our coverage across Lanarkshire.
Do I need permission for manual roller shutters in East Kilbride?
New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. If you are unsure, ask your council; we provide product details for any application.
