Surveys in Morecambe and the surrounding area are arranged directly with you, as part of our coverage across Lancashire. Neighbouring towns we cover include Lancaster (3 miles away), Fleetwood and Thornton-Cleveleys.

You do not have to do every window at once: in Morecambe we can fit the ground-floor windows first and match the colour and box on others later.
Each window in Morecambe is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.

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

Questions about window roller shutters in Morecambe
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.
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.
Is the survey free in Morecambe?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
How much do window roller shutters cost in Morecambe?
