How home security shutters work, and what to ask for

The box can sit on the face of the wall, inside the window reveal, or be built in during an extension or new build. Domestic shutters use slim double-skin aluminium laths filled with foam, which keeps them light and quiet.

Smart controllers can link shutters to timers so the house looks occupied while you are away. Whether planning permission is needed depends on the property, the council and any listing or conservation area.

Specification options

  • Quiet operation suited to bedrooms
  • Wall switch, remote, timer or app control
  • Slim foam-filled aluminium laths
  • Manual override or battery backup on escape windows
  • Blackout and added insulation when closed
  • Colours matched to window frames

Rules in Scotland

Shutters on a house: planning

In Scotland permitted development rules for houses are set by the Scottish Government. Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas restrict external changes, so check with your council before ordering if any of these apply.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Home security shutters: common questions

Do you cover Lerwick?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Lerwick. We also cover the rest of Highlands & Islands.

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 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.

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
