Patio & bifold door roller shutters in Witham: 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.
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 you cover Witham?
Yes, we survey and fit in Witham (CM8) as part of our Essex coverage.
Do I need permission for patio & bifold door roller shutters in Witham?
External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. If you are unsure, ask your local council; we provide product details for any application.
