How home security shutters work, and what to ask for

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. Fire escape routes matter: shutters on escape windows need an easy manual override or battery backup so they can be opened quickly.

Colours are chosen to match the window frames, with anthracite grey and white the most common choices. Smart controllers can link shutters to timers so the house looks occupied while you are away.

Options we can specify

  • Quiet operation suited to bedrooms
  • Colours matched to window frames
  • Face-fixed, reveal-fixed or built-in boxes
  • Slim foam-filled aluminium laths
  • Wall switch, remote, timer or app control
  • Patio and bi-fold door shutters

Covering Hertfordshire

We cover Hertfordshire from Watford to Hemel Hempstead, Stevenage and St Albans, with 18 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.

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.

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.

Safety of powered shutters

Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

Questions about home security shutters in Hertfordshire

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.

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.

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 your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.

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.
