Solar shutters for properties in Cardiff
Where a window in Cardiff has no power nearby, a solar shutter avoids running a cable; where there is a socket or spur, a wired motor is simpler.
Each window in Cardiff is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.
We cover Cardiff and the city's postcode districts as part of South Glamorgan; you book a survey here exactly as you would anywhere else. Other towns nearby that we cover include Penarth, Caerphilly and Barry.

What to check in Cardiff before ordering
In Cardiff, as elsewhere in Wales, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the county or county borough council, or a national park authority).
- Orientation: We check daylight on the panel at survey; heavily shaded openings may need a remote panel or mains power.
- Planning: Solar shutters look much the same as mains shutters from outside, so the same planning advice applies.

Solar roller shutters in Cardiff: questions
Can solar shutters be put on a timer?
Yes, with a compatible wireless timer or smart hub.
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 Cardiff?
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.
Do you cover Cardiff?
Yes, we survey and fit in Cardiff (CF postcodes) as part of our South Glamorgan coverage.
