Can it have a shutter later?
Yes, but it is far neater to allow for one now. Tell us at survey, and we will leave height behind the fascia even if the shutter comes later.

We measure the structural opening, not the old frame. Lintel condition, floor level and how square the opening is all get recorded at survey.

Often, in part. Fitting days can be planned for your quiet days, and closed-day or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
