Patio & bifold door roller shutters in Caterham: questions
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.
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 Caterham?
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 Caterham?
External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. If you are unsure, ask your local council; we provide product details for any application.
