Our window roller shutters service in Poole
We survey and install across Dorset, and Poole is one of the towns covered. Our coverage around Poole also includes Bournemouth, Christchurch and New Milton.
Poole is roughly 5 miles west of Bournemouth.
On houses in Poole, 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.
Each window in Poole is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.

Rules that apply in Poole
In Poole, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- 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.
- 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.

Questions about window roller shutters in Poole
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.
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.

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.
