Choosing home security shutters for premises in Northumberland

Closed shutters add a layer of insulation and can block nearly all daylight, which helps bedrooms and media rooms. The box can sit on the face of the wall, inside the window reveal, or be built in during an extension or new build. Shutters protect glazing from storm debris and reduce noise from busy roads.

Colours are chosen to match the window frames, with anthracite grey and white the most common choices. Smart controllers can link shutters to timers so the house looks occupied while you are away.

Options we can specify

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

Covering Northumberland

We cover Northumberland from Blyth to Cramlington, Ashington and Morpeth, with 6 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.

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.

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.

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.

Home security shutters: common questions

Do home shutters help with heating bills?

Closed shutters add an insulating layer over the glass and reduce draughts, which helps keep heat in at night. The effect depends on the windows you already have.

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.

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.

Do you work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
