Our solar roller shutters service in Castle Douglas
We survey and install across Dumfries & Galloway, and Castle Douglas is one of the towns covered. We also cover Dumfries, Annan and Stranraer, so premises in more than one of these places can be quoted together.
For reference, Castle Douglas lies about 16 miles west of Dumfries.
Each window in Castle Douglas is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.
Where a window in Castle Douglas has no power nearby, a solar shutter avoids running a cable; where there is a socket or spur, a wired motor is simpler.
