Our solar roller shutters service in Smethwick
Smethwick sits some 3 miles to the west of Birmingham.
Where a window in Smethwick has no power nearby, a solar shutter avoids running a cable; where there is a socket or spur, a wired motor is simpler.
On houses in Smethwick, the practical questions are where the box can sit, how the shutter will be powered and whether the window is an escape route; the survey answers all three.
We survey and install across West Midlands, and Smethwick is one of the towns covered. West Bromwich, Birmingham and Halesowen are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.

Questions about solar roller shutters in Smethwick
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.
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 you cover Smethwick?
Yes, we survey and fit in Smethwick (B66) as part of our West Midlands coverage.
Do I need permission for solar roller shutters in Smethwick?
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.
