Patio & bifold door roller shutters in Newmarket: questions
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.
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.
Is the survey free in Newmarket?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Newmarket are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.

Yes. Book a survey for any address in Newmarket in the usual way; it is covered as part of Suffolk.
