How does it work across Essex?
Our teams cover Southend-on-Sea, Basildon, Colchester and Chelmsford and the rest of Essex. If your shop is in a conservation area or a listed building, tell us at the start, because it changes the options. Southend, Basildon and Chelmsford have large retail streets, and Colchester and Saffron Walden have older centres.

What makes the difference?
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.
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.
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.
Do you need consent across Essex?
Probably, if it is external. Your council decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
