Frequently asked questions
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.
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 Oakham?
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 Oakham?
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.
