Frequently asked questions
How much do patio door shutters cost?
Most patio and French doors are £1,195–£1,895 including VAT, electric, supplied and fitted. Wide bifolds cost more; you get a fixed price after 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.
Do I need permission for patio & bifold door roller shutters in Urmston?
Possibly. External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. We recommend checking with your local council first.
