Window shutters for properties in Walthamstow
Walthamstow is roughly 7 miles north-east of central London.
You do not have to do every window at once: in Walthamstow we can fit the ground-floor windows first and match the colour and box on others later.
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 Walthamstow starts with which of those matters most to you.
Whether your property is in the centre of Walthamstow or on its edges, it is included in our Greater London coverage. Leytonstone, Tottenham and Woodford Green are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.

Rules that apply in Walthamstow
As an English town, Walthamstow 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.
- 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.
- 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.
