Questions about patio & bifold door roller shutters in Surbiton
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.
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.
Is the survey free in Surbiton?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Surbiton are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
Do I need permission for patio & bifold door roller shutters in Surbiton?
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.
