What happens across Cumbria?
We work right across Cumbria, including Carlisle, Barrow-in-Furness, Kendal and Whitehaven. Rules on frontages and shutters differ from one council to the next. Councils here include Cumberland and Westmorland and Furness. Carlisle, Kendal and Barrow-in-Furness serve large areas, with limestone and sandstone streets and hard weather.
What is worth knowing?
Does a shutter need planning permission?
An external shutter usually does. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too. An internal grille or shutter is usually the safer route, so we can advise what to check before you order.
What electrics are needed?
A power supply near the box, installed by a qualified electrician. We show the position on the drawing.
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.
