Questions about manual roller shutters in Prescot
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, to buy and to run, but they cost staff time every day on busy premises.
Do you cover Prescot?
Yes. Book a survey for any address in Prescot in the usual way; it is covered as part of Merseyside.
Do I need permission for manual roller shutters in Prescot?
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.
