Whether your property is in the centre of Canterbury or on its edges, it is included in our Kent coverage. Neighbouring towns we cover include Whitstable (6 miles away), Herne Bay and Faversham.
Canterbury is roughly 24 miles east of Maidstone.
Because a door shutter can cover an escape route, each one we fit in Canterbury has an inside control that works without a key, plus a manual override or battery backup.
For back doors, French doors and bifolds in Canterbury, the shutter is sized to the full frame so the curtain closes onto a level threshold or a bottom rail.

What to check in Canterbury before ordering
As an English city, Canterbury follows the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the permitted development rules in England.
- Escape route: If the patio doors are a way out of the house, the shutter needs an inside control and a manual override.
- Electrics: Wired to BS 7671. Notifiable work in homes in England and Wales, such as a new circuit, is self-certified by a competent person scheme electrician or notified to building control.
- Planning: Rear shutters are less visible, but listed buildings and conservation areas can still need consent.

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.
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.
Is the survey free in Canterbury?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
Do I need permission for patio & bifold door roller shutters in Canterbury?
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.
