How does it work in Castleford?
Working in Castleford means working with Wakefield Metropolitan District 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 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.
What will my insurer want?
Some insurers name a shutter type or rating, and many ask for locks and service records. Ask them before you order, as it saves a change later.
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.
