How does it work in Chester-le-Street?
We aim to fit the survey around your opening hours in Chester-le-Street, and we also cover Washington and Houghton-le-Spring. You get the same written quotation wherever the shop is.
What should you think about first?
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.
Can the shutter match my frontage?
Yes. Curtain, box and guides are powder coated to a RAL colour to match your frame as closely as the finish allows.
What about a fire exit?
A shutter must never trap people in. If it covers an escape route, it needs to be open while the premises are occupied, or opened easily from inside.
What should you budget?
| Opening width | Typical unit | Guide price plus VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 3 m | A typical single shop unit | £1,450 to £1,995 |
| 3 to 4 m | A wider single unit | £1,895 to £2,595 |
| 4 to 5 m | A double-fronted or corner unit | £2,395 to £3,195 |
| 5 to 6 m | A large double unit | £2,895 to £3,995 |
