Our window roller shutters service in Swinton
Surveys in Swinton and the surrounding area are arranged directly with you, as part of our coverage across Greater Manchester. Neighbouring towns we cover include Eccles (1 mile away), Walkden and Salford.
Swinton sits some 5 miles to the west of Manchester.
Each window in Swinton is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.
You do not have to do every window at once: in Swinton we can fit the ground-floor windows first and match the colour and box on others later.

Rules that apply in Swinton
As an English town, Swinton follows the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the permitted development rules in England.
- 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.
- 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.

Questions about window roller shutters in Swinton
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 Swinton?
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.
Do you cover Swinton?
Yes. Swinton and the M27 postcode district are part of our coverage across Greater Manchester.
