How does it work in Whickham?
Whickham sits in Tyne and Wear, and Gateshead Metropolitan Borough Council is the planning authority. For most shops that means checking consent before the order is placed, not after it.
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.
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.
What electrics are needed?
A power supply near the box, installed by a qualified electrician. We show the position on the drawing.
