Our window roller shutters service in Wembley
We cover Wembley and the HA0 postcode district as part of Greater London; you book a survey here exactly as you would anywhere else. We also cover Harrow, Greenford and Willesden, so premises in more than one of these places can be quoted together.
Wembley sits some 8 miles to the west of central London.
Where a window in Wembley 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 Wembley, 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.
Which options suit you?
Decisions we make with you at the survey in Wembley:

- Light and airLaths with small slots let a little light and air through when the shutter is down but not fully closed.
- OperationElectric with a wall switch or remote, solar with a built-in battery where there is no easy power, or manual by strap or crank.

Rules that apply in Wembley
In Wembley, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- 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.
- 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.

Window roller shutters in Wembley: questions
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?
Most standard windows come to £695–£995 including VAT for an electric aluminium shutter, supplied and fitted. Smaller windows and manual versions cost less; very wide or tall windows, recessed headboxes and special colours cost more. You get a fixed price after the survey.
Do I need permission for window roller shutters in Wembley?
Possibly. External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. We recommend checking with your local council first.
