What happens in Broadstairs?
We aim to fit the survey around your opening hours in Broadstairs, and we also cover Ramsgate and Margate. You get the same written quotation wherever the shop is.
What is worth knowing?
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.
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.

Do you need consent in Broadstairs?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so Thanet District 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.
