Choosing home security shutters for premises in Gillingham
Smart controllers can link shutters to timers so the house looks occupied while you are away. Colours are chosen to match the window frames, with anthracite grey and white the most common choices.
Whether planning permission is needed depends on the property, the council and any listing or conservation area. Closed shutters add a layer of insulation and can block nearly all daylight, which helps bedrooms and media rooms.
Specification options
- Manual override or battery backup on escape windows
- Slim foam-filled aluminium laths
- Colours matched to window frames
- Quiet operation suited to bedrooms
- Patio and bi-fold door shutters
- Blackout and added insulation when closed

Rules in England
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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Gillingham?
Yes. Gillingham (ME7) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Chatham, Rochester and Strood.
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.
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.
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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
