Our window roller shutters service in Cookstown

Where a window in Cookstown has no power nearby, a solar shutter avoids running a cable; where there is a socket or spur, a wired motor is simpler.

Planning and safety in Cookstown
Cookstown is in Northern Ireland, so planning decisions sit with your local council, which has been the planning authority since 2015.
- 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 by a qualified electrician.
- 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.
Can I fit shutters to just some windows?
Yes. Many people start with ground-floor windows facing the street or the bedrooms they want dark, and add more later in a matching finish.
Is the survey free in Cookstown?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
