Electric roller shutters in Northampton
If you let out a property in Northampton, electric roller shutters can protect it between tenancies or bookings, and solar or remote control avoids extra wiring.
Window shutters are usually chosen for security when a house is empty, for blackout in bedrooms or for keeping summer heat off the glass, and the survey in Northampton starts with which of those matters most to you.
We survey and install across Northamptonshire, and Northampton is one of the towns covered. Neighbouring towns we cover include Wellingborough (9 miles away), Daventry and Rushden.

Frequently asked questions
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.
How long do shutter motors last?
A good tubular motor commonly lasts many years in domestic use. If one fails it can be replaced without replacing the whole shutter.
Is the survey free in Northampton?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Northampton are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do I need permission for electric roller shutters in Northampton?
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.
