Frequently asked 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 Acton?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Acton are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
Do you cover Acton?
Yes. Book a survey for any address in Acton in the usual way; it is covered as part of Greater London.
