Our window roller shutters service in Redditch
We survey and install across Worcestershire, and Redditch is one of the towns covered. Bromsgrove, Shirley and Droitwich are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.
Redditch sits some 14 miles to the north-east of Worcester.
Each window in Redditch is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.
On houses in Redditch, the practical questions are where the box can sit, how the shutter will be powered and whether the window is an escape route; the survey answers all three.

Planning and safety in Redditch
As an English town, Redditch 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.
- 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.

Frequently asked 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.
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 Redditch?
Yes, we survey and fit in Redditch (B97) as part of our Worcestershire coverage.
How much do window roller shutters cost in Redditch?
