How home security shutters work, and what to ask for

Smart controllers can link shutters to timers so the house looks occupied while you are away. Electric operation with a wall switch, remote or timer makes it easy to close every shutter in the house at once.

Whether planning permission is needed depends on the property, the council and any listing or conservation area. Patio and bi-fold doors can be covered by a single wide shutter, protecting the largest area of glass.

Options we can specify

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

Rules in England

Shutters on a house: planning

For houses in England some small external changes fall under permitted development, but flats and maisonettes do not have the same rights, and listed buildings, conservation areas and Article 4 directions restrict changes to a property's appearance. If any of these apply, check with your council before ordering.

How it works

  1. Tell us about the opening

    Send the postcode, a rough size and a photo if you have one, using the form or a call.

  2. Free survey

    We measure, check the structure, power supply and planning position, and talk through options.

  3. Written fixed price

    You get a written quote with the product, finish, controls and price before anything is ordered.

  4. Made, fitted and handed over

    The shutter is made to measure, fitted, commissioned and handed over with its documents.

Before you book in Southend-on-Sea

Do you cover Southend-on-Sea?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair home security shutters in Southend-on-Sea and the SS1 district, as part of our coverage across Essex.

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.

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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
