Electric shutters for properties in Thamesmead
Thamesmead sits some 11 miles to the east of central London.
Where a window in Thamesmead has no power nearby, a solar shutter avoids running a cable; where there is a socket or spur, a wired motor is simpler.
On houses in Thamesmead, 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.
Surveys in Thamesmead and the surrounding area are arranged directly with you, as part of our coverage across Greater London. We also cover Barking, Welling and Dagenham, so premises in more than one of these places can be quoted together.

Electric roller shutters in Thamesmead: questions
Are electric shutters noisy?
Tubular motors are quiet; most of the sound you hear is the laths rolling, which is a soft whirr.
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 Thamesmead?
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.
