Each window in Walkden is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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 I need permission for electric roller shutters in Walkden?
Possibly. External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. We recommend checking with your local council first.
Is the survey free in Walkden?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Walkden are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
