Window roller shutters in Broadstairs
Broadstairs is part of our Kent coverage, and addresses in the CT10 postcode district are covered in the same way as the rest of Kent. Ramsgate, Margate and Deal are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.
For reference, Broadstairs lies about 40 miles east of Maidstone.
Each window in Broadstairs is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.
Window shutters are usually chosen for security when a house is empty, for blackout in bedrooms or for keeping summer heat off the glass, and the survey in Broadstairs starts with which of those matters most to you.

What to check in Broadstairs before ordering
As an English town, Broadstairs follows the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the permitted development rules in England.
- 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.
- 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.

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.
