Our window roller shutters service in Battersea
Battersea sits some 3 miles to the south-west of central London.
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 Battersea starts with which of those matters most to you.
Each window in Battersea is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.
Surveys in Battersea and the surrounding area are arranged directly with you, as part of our coverage across Greater London. Other towns nearby that we cover include Chelsea, Pimlico and Westminster.

Planning and safety in Battersea
As an English town, Battersea follows the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the permitted development rules in England.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
