Questions about steel roller shutters in Formby
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.
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.
Is the survey free in Formby?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Formby are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do you cover Formby?
