Solar shutters for properties in Durham
Each window in Durham is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.
On houses in Durham, the practical questions are where the box can sit, how the shutter will be powered and whether the window is an escape route; the survey answers all three.
We cover Durham and the DH1 postcode district as part of County Durham; you book a survey here exactly as you would anywhere else. Other towns nearby that we cover include Chester-le-Street, Houghton-le-Spring and Stanley.

Rules that apply in Durham
In Durham, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- Orientation: We check daylight on the panel at survey; heavily shaded openings may need a remote panel or mains power.
- Planning: Solar shutters look much the same as mains shutters from outside, so the same planning advice applies.
