Rules that apply in Wigan
Wigan is in England, so planning decisions sit with your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- Planning: Rear shutters are less visible, but listed buildings and conservation areas can still need consent.
- Electrics: Wired to BS 7671. Notifiable work in homes in England and Wales, such as a new circuit, is self-certified by a competent person scheme electrician or notified to building control.
- Escape route: If the patio doors are a way out of the house, the shutter needs an inside control and a manual override.

Patio & bifold door roller shutters in Wigan: questions
Will a shutter keep my extension cooler?
Yes, an external shutter stops sun reaching the glass, which is far more effective at reducing heat than an internal blind.
Can the headbox be hidden?
On new extensions it can be built into the roof edge or behind a fascia. On existing houses it is fitted neatly under the lintel and colour-matched.
Is the survey free in Wigan?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.

Yes. Book a survey for any address in Wigan in the usual way; it is covered as part of Greater Manchester.
