Window shutters for properties in Hazel Grove
Hazel Grove is roughly 8 miles south-east of Manchester.
You do not have to do every window at once: in Hazel Grove we can fit the ground-floor windows first and match the colour and box on others later.
Bedroom shutters in Hazel Grove can run on a timer, closing at night and opening in the morning without anyone touching a switch.
Whether your property is in the centre of Hazel Grove or on its edges, it is included in our Greater Manchester coverage. Stockport, Cheadle Hulme and Hyde are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.

Planning and safety in Hazel Grove
As an English town, Hazel Grove follows the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the permitted development rules in England.
- 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.
- 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.

Frequently asked questions
What happens in a power cut?
Mains motors stop where they are until power returns. If a window is needed for escape we fit a manual override or a battery-backed motor so it can still be opened.
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 Hazel Grove?
Yes. Book a survey for any address in Hazel Grove in the usual way; it is covered as part of Greater Manchester.
Do I need permission for window roller shutters in Hazel Grove?
External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. If you are unsure, ask your local council; we provide product details for any application.
