What to know about home security shutters in Ilkeston

Shutters protect glazing from storm debris and reduce noise from busy roads. Whether planning permission is needed depends on the property, the council and any listing or conservation area.

Domestic shutters use slim double-skin aluminium laths filled with foam, which keeps them light and quiet. Electric operation with a wall switch, remote or timer makes it easy to close every shutter in the house at once.

What's included

  • Slim foam-filled aluminium laths
  • Manual override or battery backup on escape windows
  • Face-fixed, reveal-fixed or built-in boxes
  • Blackout and added insulation when closed
  • Patio and bi-fold door shutters
  • Colours matched to window frames

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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Before you book in Ilkeston

Do you cover Ilkeston?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Ilkeston. We also cover nearby Heanor, Long Eaton and Ripley.

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.

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.

Do home shutters help with heating bills?

Closed shutters add an insulating layer over the glass and reduce draughts, which helps keep heat in at night. The effect depends on the windows you already have.

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
