What to check in Coventry before ordering
In Coventry, 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.
- Escape route: If the patio doors are a way out of the house, the shutter needs an inside control and a manual override.
- 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.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
Do I need permission for patio & bifold door roller shutters in Coventry?
It depends on the property. External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. Check with your local council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
Is the survey free in Coventry?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Coventry are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
