What is worth knowing before you start?
What about a fire exit?
A shutter must never trap people in. If it covers an escape route, it needs to be open while the premises are occupied, or opened easily from inside.
What will my insurer want?
Some insurers name a shutter type or rating, and many ask for locks and service records. Ask them before you order, as it saves a change later.
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 Clapham?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so London Borough of Lambeth will normally expect a planning application. 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 Clapham?
Yes. We survey and fit here, and the survey for new work is free.
Which council handles planning in Clapham?
London Borough of Lambeth. We tell you at survey whether your work needs consent.
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.
Do I need planning permission for a shutter in Clapham?
An external shutter usually needs it, and London Borough of Lambeth decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too.
