What should you think about first?
How is the shutter controlled?
By key switch, remote or both, and we specify a manual override for power cuts. Keep the override instructions somewhere that staff can find them.
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.
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.
Will this need planning permission in Eastleigh?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so Eastleigh Borough Council 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 Eastleigh?
Yes. We survey and fit here, and the survey for new work is free.
Which council handles planning in Eastleigh?
Eastleigh Borough Council. We tell you at survey whether your work needs consent.
Do I need planning permission for a shutter in Eastleigh?
An external shutter usually needs it, and Eastleigh 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.
