Fitting window roller shutters in Flint
Flint is roughly 15 miles north-west of Wrexham.
Window shutters are usually chosen for security when a house is empty, for blackout in bedrooms or for keeping summer heat off the glass, and the survey in Flint starts with which of those matters most to you.
You do not have to do every window at once: in Flint we can fit the ground-floor windows first and match the colour and box on others later.
Flint is part of our Clwyd coverage, and addresses in the CH6 postcode district are covered in the same way as the rest of Clwyd. Deeside, Mold and Buckley are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.

Planning and safety in Flint
In Flint, as elsewhere in Wales, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the county or county borough council, or a national park authority).
- Ventilation: A closed shutter reduces airflow round trickle vents, so on rooms with gas appliances or poor ventilation we specify slotted laths or a part-open setting.
- Electrics: Motors are wired to BS 7671. Some electrical work in homes, such as a new circuit, is notifiable under Part P in England and Wales (the lists of notifiable work differ slightly between the two). It is either self-certified by an electrician registered with a competent person scheme or notified to building control.
- Escape windows: If a shutter covers a window you would use to get out in a fire, it must open from inside without a key. We fit a manual override or battery backup on those openings.
- Planning: Whether external shutters on a house need permission depends on the property and the council. Listed buildings need consent for external alterations, and conservation areas often bring tighter rules, so check before ordering. We provide drawings and product details for an application.

Frequently asked questions
Will a shutter stop me opening my window?
No. The shutter runs outside the window, so you can still open casements when it is raised. Inward-opening tilt-and-turn windows can also be opened with the shutter down.
