What happens across Bedfordshire?
From city-centre units to village parades, the job starts the same way. Luton, Bedford, Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard are among the places we cover. Councils here include Luton, Central Bedfordshire and Bedford. Luton has busy town-centre units and Bedford has riverside streets, while market towns such as Biggleswade and Leighton Buzzard have smaller frontages.
What makes the difference?
Steel or aluminium laths?
Steel is stronger and heavier. Aluminium is lighter and quieter, which helps under flats. Most shops are well served by either.
Does a shutter need planning permission?
An external shutter usually does. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too. An internal grille or shutter is usually the safer route, so we can advise what to check before you order.
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.
