What happens in Dover?
A frontage in Dover has to suit the street as well as the shop. Dover District Council decides what is acceptable where planning applies, so we draw with that in mind.
What should you check before you decide?
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.
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.
How much will it cost?
| 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 |
