Our solar roller shutters service in Wick
We cover Wick and the KW1 postcode district as part of Highlands & Islands; you book a survey here exactly as you would anywhere else. Thurso, Kirkwall and Elgin are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.
For reference, Wick lies about 78 miles north-east of Inverness.
Each window in Wick is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.
Where a window in Wick has no power nearby, a solar shutter avoids running a cable; where there is a socket or spur, a wired motor is simpler.

Rules that apply in Wick
Wick is in Scotland, so planning decisions sit with your planning authority (the local council, or a national park authority).
- 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.
