Window shutters for properties in Selby
Selby sits some 12 miles to the south of York.
You do not have to do every window at once: in Selby we can fit the ground-floor windows first and match the colour and box on others later.
Each window in Selby is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.
If your address has a YO8 postcode, it falls within our North Yorkshire coverage. Other towns nearby that we cover include Goole, Pontefract and York.

Planning and safety in Selby
As an English town, Selby 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 Selby
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.
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.
Do you cover Selby?
Yes. Book a survey for any address in Selby in the usual way; it is covered as part of North Yorkshire.
Do I need permission for window roller shutters in Selby?
External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. If you are unsure, ask your local council; we provide product details for any application.
