How does it work in Bishop Auckland?
We aim to fit the survey around your opening hours in Bishop Auckland, and we also cover Spennymoor and Newton Aycliffe. You get the same written quotation wherever the shop is.
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.
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.
How much will it cost?

Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Will this need planning permission in Bishop Auckland?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so Durham County 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.

How soon can you fit a perforated roller shutter in Bishop Auckland?
Lead time is 2 to 3 weeks after survey. We agree the fitting day with you.
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.
Do I need planning permission for a shutter in Bishop Auckland?
An external shutter usually needs it, and Durham County Council decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too.
Are perforated shutters more likely to get planning permission?
Not reliably. Some councils accept them and others resist them, so check with your council before you order.
