Our patio & bifold door roller shutters service in Long Eaton
Long Eaton sits some 9 miles to the east of Derby.
Wide patio and bifold openings in Long Eaton 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.
Because a door shutter can cover an escape route, each one we fit in Long Eaton has an inside control that works without a key, plus a manual override or battery backup.
We survey and install across Derbyshire, and Long Eaton is one of the towns covered. Other towns nearby that we cover include Ilkeston, Nottingham and West Bridgford.

Patio & bifold door roller shutters in Long Eaton: questions
Can the headbox be hidden?
On new extensions it can be built into the roof edge or behind a fascia. On existing houses it is fitted neatly under the lintel and colour-matched.
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 Long Eaton?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.

Yes. Book a survey for any address in Long Eaton in the usual way; it is covered as part of Derbyshire.
