How home security shutters work, and what to ask for

Patio and bi-fold doors can be covered by a single wide shutter, protecting the largest area of glass. 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. Fire escape routes matter: shutters on escape windows need an easy manual override or battery backup so they can be opened quickly.

Features to choose from

  • Colours matched to window frames
  • Face-fixed, reveal-fixed or built-in boxes
  • Patio and bi-fold door shutters
  • Quiet operation suited to bedrooms

  • Wall switch, remote, timer or app control

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.

Home security shutters: common questions

Do you cover Colchester?

Yes. Colchester (CO1) is within our Essex coverage, along with nearby Sudbury, Clacton-on-Sea and Witham.

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.

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.

Can shutters be added to an existing window?

Yes. Most domestic shutters are retrofitted with a box on the face of the wall or in the reveal, so the window does not need to be replaced.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.

Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
