Planning and safety in Ashton-in-Makerfield
Ashton-in-Makerfield 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Window roller shutters in Ashton-in-Makerfield: 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.
Do you cover Ashton-in-Makerfield?
Yes. Ashton-in-Makerfield and the WN4 postcode district are part of our coverage across Greater Manchester.
Is the survey free in Ashton-in-Makerfield?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
