What is worth knowing before you start?
Which glass should go in?
Safety glass is needed in doors, side panels and low-level panes. Laminated glass is worth the extra if the street has a history of break-ins.
Should the stallriser stay?
A stallriser protects the bottom of the glass from kicks, trolleys and cleaning water. On older streets it is also part of the look.
What should I do if a shutter or door fails?
Stop using it if it looks unsafe, keep people clear and take a photo. Do not force a stuck shutter, as the springs and barrel are under load.
Do you need consent in Grays?
Probably, if it is external. Thurrock 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?
Do you cover Grays?
Yes. We survey and fit here, and the survey for new work is free.
Which council handles planning in Grays?
Thurrock Council. We tell you at survey whether your work needs consent.
Can you add a shutter to the new shopfront?
Yes, and it is best planned now. We can price the frontage and shutter as one job.
Does a new shopfront in Grays need planning permission?
A change to how the frontage looks usually does. Thurrock Council is the council to check with, and we advise at survey.
