Window shutters for properties in Kenilworth
Surveys in Kenilworth and the surrounding area are arranged directly with you, as part of our coverage across Warwickshire. Other towns nearby that we cover include Warwick, Coventry and Leamington Spa.
Kenilworth sits some 13 miles to the south-west of Nuneaton.
Each window in Kenilworth 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 Kenilworth 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 Kenilworth before ordering
Kenilworth is in England, so planning decisions sit with your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- 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.
- 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.

Window roller shutters in Kenilworth: questions
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.
What happens in a power cut?
Mains motors stop where they are until power returns. If a window is needed for escape we fit a manual override or a battery-backed motor so it can still be opened.
Is the survey free in Kenilworth?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Kenilworth are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
Do I need permission for window roller shutters in Kenilworth?
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.
