What can you expect across Essex?
From city-centre units to village parades, the job starts the same way. Southend-on-Sea, Basildon, Colchester and Chelmsford are among the places we cover. Councils here include Southend-on-Sea, Tendring and Basildon. Southend, Basildon and Chelmsford have large retail streets, and Colchester and Saffron Walden have older centres.
What should you check before you decide?
What about a fire exit?
A shutter must never trap people in. If it covers an escape route, it needs to be open while the premises are occupied, or opened easily from inside.
Surface box or hidden box?
A surface box under the fascia is quicker and cheaper. A hidden box looks far better, but needs height above the door head and a removable access panel.
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 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.
