Manual roller shutters in Oxford: 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.
Do I need permission for manual roller shutters in Oxford?
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 Oxford?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Oxford are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
