Fitting window roller shutters in Fulham
Fulham is roughly 4 miles 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 Fulham starts with which of those matters most to you.
You do not have to do every window at once: in Fulham we can fit the ground-floor windows first and match the colour and box on others later.
Fulham is part of our Greater London coverage, and addresses in the SW6 postcode district are covered in the same way as the rest of Greater London. We also cover Chelsea, Putney and Battersea, so premises in more than one of these places can be quoted together.

Planning and safety in Fulham
Fulham is in England, so planning decisions sit with 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.
- 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.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
How much do window roller shutters cost in Fulham?

Do I need permission for window roller shutters in Fulham?
