What can you expect in Ashton-in-Makerfield?
Our surveys in Ashton-in-Makerfield cover postcodes including WN4, along with Haydock and Golborne. Planning applications here go to Wigan Council, so it is worth reading any shopfront guidance it publishes before anything is drawn.
What should you check before you decide?
How is the shutter controlled?
By key switch, remote or both, and we specify a manual override for power cuts. Keep the override instructions somewhere that staff can find them.
Do I need a safety edge?
That depends on the risk assessment. Powered shutters near the public are assessed against BS EN 12453, and we quote what the result calls for.
Steel or aluminium laths?
Steel is stronger and heavier. Aluminium is lighter and quieter, which helps under flats. Most shops are well served by either.
What should you budget?
| Opening width | Typical unit | Guide price plus VAT |
