Planning and safety in Strabane
In Strabane, planning follows the Planning Act (Northern Ireland) 2011 and the NI permitted development rules.
- Electrics: Motors are wired to BS 7671 by a qualified electrician.
- 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.
- 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
What happens in a power cut?
Mains motors stop where they are until power returns. If a window is needed for escape we fit a manual override or a battery-backed motor so it can still be opened.
How much do window roller shutters cost?
Most standard windows come to £695–£995 including VAT for an electric aluminium shutter, supplied and fitted. Smaller windows and manual versions cost less; very wide or tall windows, recessed headboxes and special colours cost more. You get a fixed price after the survey.
