What happens in Northfield?
Whether the unit is on the main shopping street or a local parade in Northfield, the job is measured the same way, and Birmingham City Council is the council to check with.
What makes the difference?
How is the shutter controlled?
By key switch, remote or both, and we specify a manual override for power cuts. Keep the override instructions somewhere that staff can find them.
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.
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.

Do you need consent in Northfield?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so Birmingham City Council will normally expect a planning application. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
