What can you expect across County Antrim?
Our teams cover Belfast, Lisburn, Newtownabbey and Ballymena and the rest of County Antrim. If your shop is in a conservation area or a listed building, tell us at the start, because it changes the options. Belfast has a city centre and long arterial routes, and towns such as Lisburn, Ballymena and Carrickfergus each have their own main streets.
What is worth knowing?
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 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.

An external shutter normally needs planning permission from your council. An internal shutter or grille often does not, so it is worth checking before you order. In Northern Ireland, councils decide planning applications, and Building Control applications are separate. Listed buildings need listed building consent.
