On houses in Thamesmead, 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.

The shutter costs more than a mains version, but you save on electrical work, which often makes the total similar.
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.
Is the survey free in Thamesmead?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Thamesmead are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.

External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. If you are unsure, ask your local council; we provide product details for any application.
