What is worth knowing before you start?
Surface box or hidden box?
A surface box under the fascia is quicker and cheaper. A hidden box looks far better, but needs height above the door head and a removable access panel.
Do I need a safety edge?
That depends on the risk assessment. Powered shutters near the public are assessed against BS EN 12453, and we quote what the result calls for.
Do you work on any make?
Most commercial shutters and door gear. We will tell you straight away if parts are no longer available.
Will this need planning permission in Workington?
Probably, if it is external. Cumberland Council decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
What do people ask?

Yes. We survey and fit here, and the survey for new work is free.
Which council handles planning in Workington?

Do I need planning permission for a shutter in Workington?

Can you match the shutter to my shopfront?
Yes. We powder coat to a RAL colour to match your frame as closely as we can.
