How home security shutters work, and what to ask for

Closed shutters add a layer of insulation and can block nearly all daylight, which helps bedrooms and media rooms. 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. Electric operation with a wall switch, remote or timer makes it easy to close every shutter in the house at once.

Features to choose from

  • Manual override or battery backup on escape windows
  • Slim foam-filled aluminium laths
  • Patio and bi-fold door shutters
  • Colours matched to window frames
  • Quiet operation suited to bedrooms
  • Blackout and added insulation when closed

Rules in England

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.

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 Formby?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair home security shutters in Formby and the L37 district, as part of our coverage across Merseyside.

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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
