Fitting steel roller shutters in Falmouth
Whether your property is in the centre of Falmouth or on its edges, it is included in our Cornwall coverage. Truro, Redruth and Camborne are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.
Falmouth is roughly 8 miles south of Truro.
Each industrial door is specified for its own opening, so a site in Falmouth gets a door matched to its size, use and power supply rather than a single standard.
For warehouses, depots and workshops in and around Falmouth, the door is sized to the opening, the wind on that elevation and the number of cycles a day.

Steel roller shutters in Falmouth: questions
Will a steel shutter rust?
Galvanising protects the steel, and powder-coating adds another layer. Scratches and coastal air speed up corrosion, so regular cleaning helps.
Can steel shutters be painted?
They are best powder-coated in the factory; site painting rarely lasts on a moving curtain.
Is the survey free in Falmouth?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Falmouth are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do I need permission for steel roller shutters in Falmouth?
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. If you are unsure, ask your local council; we provide product details for any application.
