Fitting electric roller shutters in London
Surveys in London and the surrounding area are arranged directly with you, as part of our coverage across Greater London. Neighbouring towns we cover include Westminster (1 mile away), Pimlico and Islington.
Bedroom shutters in London can run on a timer, closing at night and opening in the morning without anyone touching a switch.
Each window in London is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.

- Escape windows: On windows or doors needed for escape we add a manual override or battery backup.

Questions about electric roller shutters in London
Can I control shutters from my phone?
Yes, with a compatible smart hub. You can open and close shutters from an app, set timers and scenes, and use voice assistants.
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 London?
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.
Is the survey free in London?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
