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

- Planning: Solar shutters look much the same as mains shutters from outside, so the same planning advice applies.

Frequently asked questions
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 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.
Is the survey free in Tynemouth?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
Do I need permission for solar roller shutters in Tynemouth?
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.
