Fitting window roller shutters in Eccles
Whether your property is in the centre of Eccles or on its edges, it is included in our Greater Manchester coverage. We also cover Swinton, Salford and Stretford, so premises in more than one of these places can be quoted together.
Eccles sits some 4 miles to the west of Manchester.
If you let out a property in Eccles, window roller shutters can protect it between tenancies or bookings, and solar or remote control avoids extra wiring.
You do not have to do every window at once: in Eccles we can fit the ground-floor windows first and match the colour and box on others later.

Planning and safety in Eccles
Eccles is in England, so planning decisions sit with your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
