Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
What should you think about first?
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.
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 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.
Do you need consent across Suffolk?
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.
What do people ask about shopfronts with concealed shutters across Suffolk?
Who decides planning for a frontage across Suffolk?
Your council is the planning authority. We tell you at survey what is likely to need consent.
How long does a package take across Suffolk?
For aluminium and steel frontages, usually 3 to 6 weeks from drawing sign-off. Other materials are confirmed on your quotation.
Do you cover Suffolk for both the shopfront and shutter?
Yes. One surveyor and one fitting team handle both parts across Suffolk.
Can an engineer still reach a hidden shutter?
Yes, if it is designed properly. We fit a removable panel, because safety parts have to be reachable for servicing.
