Patio & bifold shutters for properties in Derby
Derby is part of our Derbyshire coverage, and addresses in the city's postcode districts are covered in the same way as the rest of Derbyshire. Neighbouring towns we cover include Belper (7 miles away), Ilkeston and Heanor.
Because a door shutter can cover an escape route, each one we fit in Derby has an inside control that works without a key, plus a manual override or battery backup.
Wide patio and bifold openings in Derby may need a shutter split into two on a shared centre guide, depending on the span and the wind on that side of the house.

Frequently asked questions
How wide can one patio shutter be?
Around 3,000 mm in a standard foam-filled lath, and wider with stronger extruded profiles. We confirm the maximum for your opening at survey.
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.
Is the survey free in Derby?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
Do you cover Derby?
Yes. Derby and the city's postcode districts are part of our coverage across Derbyshire.
