What else should you know?
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.
Steel or aluminium laths?
Steel is stronger and heavier. Aluminium is lighter and quieter, which helps under flats. Most shops are well served by either.
How is the visit priced?
We tell you what the visit covers before we book it. Parts and further labour are agreed with you before they are added.
Will this need planning permission in Leigh?
An external shutter normally needs planning permission from Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council. An internal shutter or grille often does not, so it is worth checking before you order. 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 Leigh?
Yes. We survey and fit here, and the survey for new work is free.
Which council handles planning in Leigh?
Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council. We tell you at survey whether your work needs consent.
Do I need planning permission for a shutter in Leigh?
An external shutter usually needs it, and Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too.
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.
