Solar shutters for properties in London
We cover London and London's postcode districts as part of Greater London; you book a survey here exactly as you would anywhere else. Our coverage around London also includes Westminster, Pimlico and Islington.
You do not have to do every window at once: in London we can fit the ground-floor windows first and match the colour and box on others later.
On houses in London, 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.

Planning and safety in London
In London, 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.

Yes, with a compatible wireless timer or smart hub.

The shutter costs more than a mains version, but you save on electrical work, which often makes the total similar.
