Our steel roller shutters service in Washington
Washington is roughly 6 miles south-east of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Where several doors on one site in Washington need work, they can be surveyed together and put on a single maintenance schedule afterwards.
For warehouses, depots and workshops in and around Washington, the door is sized to the opening, the wind on that elevation and the number of cycles a day.
If your address has an NE37 postcode, it falls within our Tyne and Wear coverage. Chester-le-Street, Houghton-le-Spring and Hebburn are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.

Questions about steel roller shutters in Washington
Can steel shutters be painted?
They are best powder-coated in the factory; site painting rarely lasts on a moving curtain.
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 Washington?
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.
