What to know about home security shutters in Manchester
Whether planning permission is needed depends on the property, the council and any listing or conservation area. Colours are chosen to match the window frames, with anthracite grey and white the most common choices.
Closed shutters add a layer of insulation and can block nearly all daylight, which helps bedrooms and media rooms. Fire escape routes matter: shutters on escape windows need an easy manual override or battery backup so they can be opened quickly.
Options we can specify
- Colours matched to window frames
- Manual override or battery backup on escape windows
- Blackout and added insulation when closed
- Wall switch, remote, timer or app control
- Patio and bi-fold door shutters
- Face-fixed, reveal-fixed or built-in boxes

Your questions answered
Do you cover Manchester?
Yes. Manchester (M1) is within our Greater Manchester coverage, along with nearby Salford, Failsworth and Droylsden.
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.
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 you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
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.
