Covering Swansea
We survey and install across West Glamorgan, and Swansea is one of the cities covered.
Gorseinon, Neath and Llanelli are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.
On houses in Swansea, the practical questions are where the box can sit, how the shutter will be powered and whether the window is an escape route; the survey answers all three.
From a single unit to several shops, premises in Swansea can be quoted together with one consistent specification.
Planning and safety in Swansea
Planning in Swansea follows the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the Welsh permitted development rules. Shopfront shutters usually need planning permission; for houses it depends on the property, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, under the Historic Environment (Wales) Act 2023.
Electrical work for powered shutters is carried out to BS 7671, with notifiable work in homes (under Part P in Wales, whose list of notifiable work differs slightly from England's) self-certified by a competent person scheme electrician or notified to building control.
Fire shutters in workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats, are maintained under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, where the responsible person is responsible for keeping fire safety measures in working order. Fire shutters that form part of building work also need approval from local authority building control.

Window, door, patio and garage shutters for homes; shop, commercial, perforated, counter shutters and grilles; industrial, high-speed and fire-rated doors; plus repairs, servicing, motor replacement and conversions.

Guide prices start from about £545 including VAT for an electric window shutter and from £1,495 plus VAT for a shopfront shutter. You get a fixed written price after survey.
Is the survey free in Swansea?
