Our window roller shutters service in Shepherd's Bush
Shepherd's Bush is roughly 4 miles west of central London.
Where a window in Shepherd's Bush has no power nearby, a solar shutter avoids running a cable; where there is a socket or spur, a wired motor is simpler.
On houses in Shepherd's Bush, 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.
If your address has a W12 postcode, it falls within our Greater London coverage. Our coverage around Shepherd's Bush also includes Notting Hill, Chiswick and Fulham.

What to check in Shepherd's Bush before ordering
As an English town, Shepherd's Bush follows the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the permitted development rules in England.
- 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.
- 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.

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.
