Installation for properties in Cardiff
We survey and install across South Glamorgan, and Cardiff is one of the cities covered. Our coverage around Cardiff also includes Penarth, Caerphilly and Barry.
Work in Cardiff starts with a free survey: we measure the opening, check what the box and guides will fix to, and confirm the power supply.
If a shutter in Cardiff is past repair, a replacement can sometimes reuse the box or guides, which the survey confirms.

Questions about roller shutter installation in Cardiff
How long from survey to installation?
Usually three to five weeks for made-to-measure shutters; repairs and stocked parts are quicker.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new installations. Repair visits are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do I need permission for roller shutter installation in Cardiff?
Possibly. Like-for-like replacements do not usually need permission, but a new external shutter or a change of type or position can, especially on shopfronts and listed buildings. We recommend checking with your local council first.

Yes. Book a survey for any address in Cardiff in the usual way; it is covered as part of South Glamorgan.
