Choosing home security shutters for premises in Skelmersdale

Whether planning permission is needed depends on the property, the council and any listing or conservation area. The box can sit on the face of the wall, inside the window reveal, or be built in during an extension or new build.

Colours are chosen to match the window frames, with anthracite grey and white the most common choices. Patio and bi-fold doors can be covered by a single wide shutter, protecting the largest area of glass.

Options we can specify

  • Patio and bi-fold door shutters
  • Wall switch, remote, timer or app control
  • Manual override or battery backup on escape windows
  • Colours matched to window frames
  • Slim foam-filled aluminium laths
  • 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.

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.

Questions about home security shutters in Skelmersdale

Do you cover Skelmersdale?

Yes. Skelmersdale (WN8) is within our Lancashire coverage, along with nearby Ormskirk, Wigan and Kirkby.

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 details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
