Our window roller shutters service in Spalding
Surveys in Spalding and the surrounding area are arranged directly with you, as part of our coverage across Lincolnshire. Boston, Peterborough and Wisbech are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.
Spalding sits some 34 miles to the south-east of Lincoln.
Each window in Spalding is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.
Where a window in Spalding has no power nearby, a solar shutter avoids running a cable; where there is a socket or spur, a wired motor is simpler.

What to check in Spalding before ordering
As an English town, Spalding 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.
- 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.
- 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.
