How does it work across Tyne and Wear?
Our teams cover Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, South Shields and Gateshead and the rest of Tyne and Wear. If your shop is in a conservation area or a listed building, tell us at the start, because it changes the options. Newcastle has Grainger Town, and Sunderland, Gateshead and coastal centres such as Whitley Bay and Tynemouth have their own high streets.

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.
Is the box accessible for servicing?
It has to be. We build in a removable panel so that an engineer can reach the motor, brake and spring parts.
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.
Will this need planning permission across Tyne and Wear?
Probably, if it is external. Your council decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
