What can you expect in Whitehaven?
Our surveys in Whitehaven cover postcodes including CA28, CA25 and CA26, along with Workington. Planning applications here go to Cumberland Council, so it is worth reading any shopfront guidance it publishes before anything is drawn.
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.
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.
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.

Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so Cumberland 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.
