Electric roller shutters in Luton
We cover Luton and the LU1 postcode district as part of Bedfordshire; you book a survey here exactly as you would anywhere else. Neighbouring towns we cover include Dunstable (5 miles away), Harpenden and Hitchin.
Window shutters are usually chosen for security when a house is empty, for blackout in bedrooms or for keeping summer heat off the glass, and the survey in Luton starts with which of those matters most to you.
Where a window in Luton has no power nearby, a solar shutter avoids running a cable; where there is a socket or spur, a wired motor is simpler.

Frequently asked questions
Can my manual shutters be made electric?
Usually yes. A motor can be fitted inside the existing barrel, as long as the shutter is in reasonable condition.
Do electric shutters need a new circuit?
Not always. Many can be fed from an existing circuit through a fused spur; larger groups may need a new circuit. We check at survey and the electrical work is done to BS 7671.
Do I need permission for electric roller shutters in Luton?
External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. If you are unsure, ask your local council; we provide product details for any application.
