Questions about steel roller shutters in Benfleet
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.
Is the survey free in Benfleet?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Benfleet are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do I need permission for steel roller shutters in Benfleet?
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.
