What can you expect in Leicester?
Whether the unit is on the main shopping street or a local parade in Leicester, the job is measured the same way, and Leicester City Council is the council to check with.
What makes the difference?
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.
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.
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.

Will this need planning permission in Leicester?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so Leicester 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.
