Each window in Portsmouth is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.

Rules that apply in Portsmouth
In Portsmouth, 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.

Frequently asked questions
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.
Are solar shutters more expensive?
The shutter costs more than a mains version, but you save on electrical work, which often makes the total similar.
Do I need permission for solar roller shutters in Portsmouth?
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.
Is the survey free in Portsmouth?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Portsmouth are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
