What happens in Dartford?
Whether the unit is on the main shopping street or a local parade in Dartford, the job is measured the same way, and Dartford Borough Council is the council to check with.
What should you check before you decide?
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 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.
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.
How much will it cost?

Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so Dartford Borough Council will normally expect a planning application.
