Frequently asked questions
Can solar shutters be put on a timer?

Do I need permission for solar roller shutters in Swadlincote?
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.
