If you let out a property in Tipton, window roller shutters can protect it between tenancies or bookings, and solar or remote control avoids extra wiring.
Which options suit you?
Decisions we make with you at the survey in Tipton:
- Headbox positionFace-fixed under the lintel, recessed into the reveal, or concealed behind render or a soffit on new work.
- Light and airLaths with small slots let a little light and air through when the shutter is down but not fully closed.
- Lath profileFoam-filled aluminium in 37–55 mm profiles for most windows; extruded aluminium where you want a tougher curtain on a vulnerable opening.

Planning and safety in Tipton
As an English town, Tipton 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.
