Electric shutters for properties in Southampton
Where a window in Southampton 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 Southampton, 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.
We survey and install across Hampshire, and Southampton is one of the cities covered. Our coverage around Southampton also includes Hythe, Totton and Eastleigh.

What to check in Southampton before ordering
In Southampton, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- Electrics: Work is carried out to BS 7671. Notifiable work in homes in England and Wales is self-certified by an electrician registered with a competent person scheme or notified to building control.
- Escape windows: On windows or doors needed for escape we add a manual override or battery backup.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
Is the survey free in Southampton?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Southampton are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do I need permission for electric roller shutters in Southampton?
It depends on the property. External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. Check with your local council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
