How does it work across Cheshire?
In Cheshire, the usual route is the same wherever you are: a measured survey, an itemised quotation, then fitting at a time that suits the shop. Towns we cover include Warrington, Chester, Crewe and Ellesmere Port. Black-and-white frontages in Chester and Nantwich need a light touch, whereas Warrington, Crewe and Widnes have plenty of modern parades.

What is worth knowing?
Can I phase the work?
Yes. If cash flow is tight, we can fit the frontage first and leave the box, guides and power ready for the shutter later.
Why plan the frontage and shutter together?
Because the shutter box needs a home. Plan it with the fascia and it disappears. Add it later and it usually ends up on the face of the building.
How does a joint install save trading time?
The frontage and shutter go in as one sequence, so you close once. With two contractors, you close twice and hope they agree on who damaged what.
Do you need consent across Cheshire?
An external shutter normally needs planning permission from your 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.

How long does a package take across Cheshire?
For aluminium and steel frontages, usually 3 to 6 weeks from drawing sign-off. Other materials are confirmed on your quotation.
Who decides planning for a frontage across Cheshire?
Your council is the planning authority. We tell you at survey what is likely to need consent.
Can you fit a package around my trading hours across Cheshire?
Yes. Closed-day or out-of-hours fitting can be arranged.
How much height do I need for a concealed shutter box?
Around 250 to 300 mm above the door head on a typical opening, more on a wide or tall shutter. We measure it at survey.
