How does it work in Houghton-le-Spring?
Our surveys in Houghton-le-Spring cover postcodes including DH4, SR3 and SR4, along with Hetton-le-Hole and Chester-le-Street. Planning applications here go to Sunderland City Council, so it is worth reading any shopfront guidance it publishes before anything is drawn.
What should you think about first?
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.
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.
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.
