Electric shutters for properties in Wick
Wick sits some 78 miles to the north-east of Inverness.
On houses in Wick, 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.
You do not have to do every window at once: in Wick we can fit the ground-floor windows first and match the colour and box on others later.
We cover Wick and the KW1 postcode district as part of Highlands & Islands; you book a survey here exactly as you would anywhere else. We also cover Thurso, Kirkwall and Elgin, so premises in more than one of these places can be quoted together.

Frequently asked questions
Are electric shutters noisy?
Tubular motors are quiet; most of the sound you hear is the laths rolling, which is a soft whirr.
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 you cover Wick?
Yes. Wick and the KW1 postcode district are part of our coverage across Highlands & Islands.
Is the survey free in Wick?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Wick are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
