Where a window in Littlehampton has no power nearby, a solar shutter avoids running a cable; where there is a socket or spur, a wired motor is simpler.
Window shutters are usually chosen for security when a house is empty, for blackout in bedrooms or for keeping summer heat off the glass, and the survey in Littlehampton starts with which of those matters most to you.

What to check in Littlehampton before ordering
In Littlehampton, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- 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.
- 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.

Questions about window roller shutters in Littlehampton
Do window shutters need planning permission?
It depends on the house and the council. External shutters on a listed building need listed building consent, and conservation areas and some councils apply tighter controls. On many ordinary houses no application is needed, but check with your council before ordering; we supply drawings if you need to apply.
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.
Is the survey free in Littlehampton?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Littlehampton are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
Do I need permission for window roller shutters in Littlehampton?
Possibly. External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. We recommend checking with your local council first.
