Questions about manual roller shutters in Shirley
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 Shirley?
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.
