Planning and safety in Kettering
In Kettering, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to 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.

Frequently asked questions
How wide can one patio shutter be?
Around 3,000 mm in a standard foam-filled lath, and wider with stronger extruded profiles. We confirm the maximum for your opening at survey.
Can you fit a shutter over bifold doors?
Yes. The shutter runs outside the folding doors in its own guides, so it does not interfere with them. Very wide bifolds are often split into two shutters on a centre post.
Is the survey free in Kettering?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Kettering are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
Do I need permission for patio & bifold door roller shutters in Kettering?
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.
