Window shutters for properties in Wick
We cover Wick and the KW1 postcode district as part of Highlands & Islands; you book a survey here exactly as you would anywhere else. Thurso, Kirkwall and Elgin are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.
Wick sits some 78 miles to the north-east of Inverness.
If you let out a property in Wick, window roller shutters can protect it between tenancies or bookings, and solar or remote control avoids extra wiring.
Each window in Wick is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.

Rules that apply in Wick
As a Scottish town, Wick follows the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 and the Scottish permitted development rules.
- Electrics: Motors are wired to BS 7671 and the Scottish building standards for electrical safety.
- 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.
- 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
Do window shutters need planning permission?
It depends on the house and the council. External shutters on a listed building need listed building consent, and conservation areas and some councils apply tighter controls. On many ordinary houses no application is needed, but check with your council before ordering; we supply drawings if you need to apply.
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.
