How home security shutters work, and what to ask for

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.

Fire escape routes matter: shutters on escape windows need an easy manual override or battery backup so they can be opened quickly. Closed shutters add a layer of insulation and can block nearly all daylight, which helps bedrooms and media rooms.

Features to choose from

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

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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover St Albans?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in St Albans. We also cover nearby Harpenden, Hatfield and Hemel Hempstead.

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.

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.

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.

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.
