Fitting window roller shutters in Canary Wharf
Surveys in Canary Wharf and the surrounding area are arranged directly with you, as part of our coverage across Greater London. Bow, Canning Town and Greenwich are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.
Canary Wharf sits some 5 miles to the east of central London.
Bedroom shutters in Canary Wharf can run on a timer, closing at night and opening in the morning without anyone touching a switch.
You do not have to do every window at once: in Canary Wharf we can fit the ground-floor windows first and match the colour and box on others later.

What to check in Canary Wharf before ordering
In Canary Wharf, 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Frequently asked questions
Do window shutters need planning permission?
It depends on the house and the council. External shutters on a listed building need listed building consent, and conservation areas and some councils apply tighter controls. On many ordinary houses no application is needed, but check with your council before ordering; we supply drawings if you need to apply.
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.

The guide prices above apply in Canary Wharf. Your exact price depends on size, finish, controls and access, and is fixed in writing after survey.
