What happens across Cornwall?
From city-centre units to village parades, the job starts the same way. Redruth, Falmouth, St Austell and Truro are among the places we cover. Cornwall Council is the council to check with here. Truro, Falmouth and Penzance are built of granite and slate, with salt air and strong weather along much of the coast.

What should you think about first?
What happens to my old frontage?
If the job is a replacement, removal and disposal are priced on the quotation, and we aim to leave the unit secure or boarded overnight.
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.
What decides the final package price?
Width, height, frame material, curtain type, and whether the box can be hidden. Access and strip-out are the other two things that move the price.
Will this need planning permission across Cornwall?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so your 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.
