Basildon sits some 12 miles to the south of Chelmsford.
Window shutters are usually chosen for security when a house is empty, for blackout in bedrooms or for keeping summer heat off the glass, and the survey in Basildon starts with which of those matters most to you.
Each window in Basildon is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.

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

Questions about solar roller shutters in Basildon
How long does the battery last?
Batteries are a replaceable part and typically last several years in normal use. Replacement does not mean replacing the shutter.
Do solar shutters work in winter?
Yes. The panel charges in daylight, not just sunshine, and a full battery runs the shutter for many cycles. Very shaded spots are assessed at survey.
Do I need permission for solar roller shutters in Basildon?
Possibly. External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. We recommend checking with your local council first.
