Maghera shopfront and unit shutters
12-month warranty plus optional planned maintenance across BT46.
semi detached around Maghera vary enormously in structure, and the fixing detail decides what curtain we can hang.
Solid lath for maximum barrier, punched vision lath where the display must stay readable, brick-bond grille for shopping frontages.
Shutters into Maghera run 3-5 weeks (made to opening) because every curtain is made to the opening.
Shutter specification for a Maghera unit
The A6 dualling shaved 15 minutes off Maghera lead times, we treat it as a same-week catchment now. We build that into every Maghera survey, not the price sheet.
Most of the commercial work we do around Maghera lands inside Largantogher Industrial and Coleraine Road units. Repeat installs come from word-of-mouth across those estates.
Maghera sits 40 mi from Belfast and 45 mi from our Dromore yard via the A6 (with M22 (via Toome) access).

Shutter questions from Maghera businesses
Q.What is the lead time for a Maghera unit?
3-5 weeks (made to opening), since curtains, boxes and guides are made to the actual opening. Emergency boarding and temporary security can be arranged sooner.
Q.Will an insurer accept the shutter we fit?
Bring us the wording. We specify the curtain, guides and locking to the level the policy names, which is usually where a cheap shutter falls short.
Q.Can shutters be fitted inside the glazing line?
Yes. Internal shutters suit listed and conservation frontages around Maghera where an external box would not be accepted.
Q.Do fire shutters need testing?
Yes. A fire shutter should be tested and its operation documented on a scheduled basis, and we include that in maintenance contracts across Maghera.
Q.Do you cover units around Largantogher Industrial?
Yes, Largantogher Industrial and the surrounding Maghera commercial area are on our regular service routes.
Q.Are they electrically operated?
Most are, with a key switch or internal control, plus a manual override for power failure. Small openings can be manual with a spring balance.
