What can you expect in Blackpool?
Working in Blackpool means working with Blackpool Borough Council on planning, and sometimes with a landlord on the lease. We flag both early, so that neither one holds up your opening date.

What is worth knowing?
How long does a shutter last?
Curtains and guides can last many years with planned servicing. Motors, springs and locks go first, and a busy shop will wear them faster.
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.
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.
Will this need planning permission in Blackpool?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so Blackpool Borough 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.
