Choosing home security shutters for premises in Chester-le-Street
Electric operation with a wall switch, remote or timer makes it easy to close every shutter in the house at once. The box can sit on the face of the wall, inside the window reveal, or be built in during an extension or new build.
Fire escape routes matter: shutters on escape windows need an easy manual override or battery backup so they can be opened quickly. Whether planning permission is needed depends on the property, the council and any listing or conservation area.
Specification options
- Slim foam-filled aluminium laths
- Manual override or battery backup on escape windows
- Colours matched to window frames
- Blackout and added insulation when closed
- Quiet operation suited to bedrooms
- Face-fixed, reveal-fixed or built-in boxes

Rules in England
Electrical work
Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Questions about home security shutters in Chester-le-Street
Do you cover Chester-le-Street?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Chester-le-Street. We also cover nearby Washington, Houghton-le-Spring and Stanley.
How noisy are electric home shutters?
Domestic tube motors are quiet, and foam-filled laths reduce rattle, so shutters can be used in bedrooms without disturbing anyone.
Do I need planning permission for shutters on my house?
It depends on the property. Houses in England often have permitted development rights for minor changes, but flats do not, and listed buildings, conservation areas and Article 4 areas add restrictions. Rules differ in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. We flag it at survey; your council has the final say.
Will shutters stop me escaping in a fire?
They must not. Shutters on bedroom or escape windows are fitted with a manual override or battery backup so they can be opened quickly, and we discuss escape routes at survey.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
