Frequently asked questions
Is steel or aluminium better?
Steel is stronger for the money and suits big openings; aluminium is lighter, corrosion-resistant and neater, and suits homes, shops and coastal sites.
Can steel shutters be painted?
They are best powder-coated in the factory; site painting rarely lasts on a moving curtain.
How much do steel roller shutters cost in Ampthill?
The guide prices above apply in Ampthill. Your exact price depends on size, finish, controls and access, and is fixed in writing after survey.
Do I need permission for steel roller shutters in Ampthill?
It depends on the property. New doors on industrial buildings can need planning permission if they change the elevation, and doors in fire compartment walls must suit the fire strategy. Check with your local council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
