Manual roller shutters in Bury St Edmunds: 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 Bury St Edmunds?
Possibly. New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. We recommend checking with your local council first.
Is the survey free in Bury St Edmunds?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Bury St Edmunds are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
