Frequently asked 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.
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.
Do you cover Gateshead?
Yes. Book a survey for any address in Gateshead in the usual way; it is covered as part of Tyne and Wear.
Do I need permission for steel roller shutters in Gateshead?
Possibly. 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. We recommend checking with your local council first.
