Steel roller shutters in Essex: 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.
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.
Do I need permission for steel roller shutters in Essex?
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.
Is the survey free in Essex?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Essex are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
