If you let out a property in Swinton, solar roller shutters can protect it between tenancies or bookings, and solar or remote control avoids extra wiring.

Frequently asked questions
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 Swinton?
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.
Do you cover Swinton?
Yes. Book a survey for any address in Swinton in the usual way; it is covered as part of Greater Manchester.
