Each window in West Bromwich is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.

Planning and safety in West Bromwich
As an English town, West Bromwich follows the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the permitted development rules in England.
- 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.
- 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.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
Do I need permission for window roller shutters in West Bromwich?
It depends on the property. External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. Check with your local council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
Is the survey free in West Bromwich?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
