What happens across County Down?
We work right across County Down, including Bangor, Newtownards, Newry and Banbridge. Rules on frontages and shutters differ from one council to the next. Councils here include Ards and North Down, Newry, Mourne and Down and Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon. Bangor, Newtownards and Newry are the larger centres, and smaller market towns and coastal centres make up the rest of the county.
What makes the difference?
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.
Will the colours really match?
Frame and shutter are powder coated to the same RAL reference. Coating on different materials can vary slightly, which we will show you on samples first.
What does one drawing change?
Everything lines up: door head, guide channels, fascia, sign fixing and power supply. It also gives your council or landlord one clear document to look at.

Will this need planning permission across County Down?
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. In Northern Ireland, councils decide planning applications, and Building Control applications are separate. Listed buildings need listed building consent.
