Our patio & bifold door roller shutters service in Truro
Truro is part of our Cornwall coverage, and addresses in the TR1 postcode district are covered in the same way as the rest of Cornwall. We also cover Falmouth, Redruth and Newquay, so premises in more than one of these places can be quoted together.
Because a door shutter can cover an escape route, each one we fit in Truro has an inside control that works without a key, plus a manual override or battery backup.
For back doors, French doors and bifolds in Truro, the shutter is sized to the full frame so the curtain closes onto a level threshold or a bottom rail.

Frequently asked questions
Can you fit a shutter over bifold doors?
Yes. The shutter runs outside the folding doors in its own guides, so it does not interfere with them. Very wide bifolds are often split into two shutters on a centre post.
Will a shutter keep my extension cooler?
Yes, an external shutter stops sun reaching the glass, which is far more effective at reducing heat than an internal blind.
Do I need permission for patio & bifold door roller shutters in Truro?
It depends on the property. External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. Check with your local council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
Do you cover Truro?
