What is worth knowing before you start?
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.
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.
Is it worth repairing an old shutter?
Often, if the curtain and guides are sound. If not, we will price a replacement so that you can compare.
Do you need consent in Dartford?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so Dartford 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 Dartford?
Yes. We survey and fit here, and the survey for new work is free.
Which council handles planning in Dartford?
Dartford Borough Council. We tell you at survey whether your work needs consent.
Do I need planning permission for a shutter in Dartford?
An external shutter usually needs it, and Dartford Borough Council decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too.
How much does an electric roller shutter cost in Dartford?
For an opening up to 3 m wide, guide prices start from £1,450 plus VAT. The survey sets the final price.
