What can you expect across Dorset?
In Dorset, the usual route is the same wherever you are: a measured survey, an itemised quotation, then fitting at a time that suits the shop. Towns we cover include Bournemouth, Poole, Weymouth and Christchurch. Bournemouth and Poole carry most of the larger units, while Dorchester, Bridport and Weymouth have older streets and sea air.
What should you check before you decide?
What electrics are needed?
A power supply near the box, installed by a qualified electrician. We show the position on the drawing.
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.

Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Do you need consent across Dorset?
Often not, because the outside does not change, but check with your council if the building is listed. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
What do people ask about internal shutters across Dorset?
Do I need planning permission for a shutter across Dorset?
An external shutter usually needs it, and your council decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too.
Can you match the shutter to my shopfront?
Yes. We powder coat to a RAL colour to match your frame as closely as we can.
How soon can you fit an internal shutter across Dorset?
Lead time is 2 to 3 weeks after survey. We agree the fitting day with you.
Do internal shutters stop the glass being broken?
No, the glass stays exposed. Laminated glass is the right partner.
