Solar roller shutters in Leigh
Leigh sits some 12 miles to the west of Manchester.
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 Leigh starts with which of those matters most to you.
You do not have to do every window at once: in Leigh we can fit the ground-floor windows first and match the colour and box on others later.
We survey and install across Greater Manchester, and Leigh is one of the towns covered. Atherton, Tyldesley and Golborne are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.

Planning and safety in Leigh
As an English town, Leigh follows the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the permitted development rules in England.

- 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 Leigh
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.
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 you cover Leigh?
Yes. Book a survey for any address in Leigh in the usual way; it is covered as part of Greater Manchester.
Do I need permission for solar roller shutters in Leigh?
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.
