What should you think about first?
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.
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.
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 Aberdare?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so Rhondda Cynon Taf County 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, and rules are set by the Welsh Government.
What do people ask?
Do you cover Aberdare?
Yes. We survey and fit here, and the survey for new work is free.
Which council handles planning in Aberdare?
Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council. 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 Aberdare?
An external shutter usually needs it, and Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too.
