Roller Shutter Installation Melbourne. How We Measure, Prepare and Install.

The typical roller shutter installation timeline is 4 to 6 weeks from quote approval to install day. The on-site measure and quote happen within the first week. Custom preparation requires a 4 to 6 week lead time. Installation is typically completed in a single day, with electrical wiring done same day or the following day.

On roller shutter installation day, our crew arrives in the morning with your shutters pre-packed and labelled. They mount brackets and headboxes first, then fit guide rails and hang the shutters. Each one is positioned, levelled, and secured. No jackhammering, no cutting into walls, no dust cloud. For a full-home job of 10 to 16 shutters, expect one full day. Smaller jobs of 3 to 5 can be done in a few hours.

Rendered walls give the most precise fit with guide rails sitting flush against the surface for virtually complete light blockout. Brick is the most common wall type in Melbourne and guide rails fix directly to mortar joints with masonry anchors. Weatherboard and cladding homes need custom packers behind the guide rails to bridge the cladding profile and create a solid mount. Hebel and lightweight panels need specific fixings for the shutter weight. We assess wall type, condition, and load capacity during the free measure.

Every roller shutter installation is handled by our own crew, not subcontractors. They’re the same team on every job. The people who prepared your shutters in the workshop are the people who fit them at your home. If something needs adjusting during the install, our crew can make decisions because they know the product and the preparation behind every shutter. No phone calls to a head office, no waiting for approval. The only external trade is licensed electricians for wiring, coordinated by our team and included in your quote.

Every electric roller shutter requires wiring to a dedicated power supply. Licensed electricians are coordinated for every install. Cables are chased into the wall for a concealed, flush finish. Where chasing isn’t possible, conduits are used. You receive a Certificate of Electrical Safety when the job is done. The electrical work is warranted for 12 months.

After roller shutter installation, maintenance is minimal. Wipe slats with mild detergent quarterly. Flush guide rails with a low-pressure hose. Avoid high-pressure washing on the headbox. The motor is hermetically sealed and doesn’t need servicing. Individual slats can be replaced without removing the whole shutter. Motors swapped on-site in about 45 minutes.

10 years on shutter slats. 5 years on SM and Elero motors. 12 months on electrical components and workmanship. If a motor fails within warranty, we replace it on-site within 3 business days at no charge. You work directly with the team that installed your shutters. No third parties, no call centres.
