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