Questions about manual roller shutters in Solihull
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 Solihull?
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 Solihull?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
