Electric shutters for properties in Lichfield
For reference, Lichfield lies about 27 miles south-east of Stoke-on-Trent.
Bedroom shutters in Lichfield can run on a timer, closing at night and opening in the morning without anyone touching a switch.
Where a window in Lichfield has no power nearby, a solar shutter avoids running a cable; where there is a socket or spur, a wired motor is simpler.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
Is the survey free in Lichfield?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
Do I need permission for electric roller shutters in Lichfield?
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.
