How does it work across Essex?
From city-centre units to village parades, the job starts the same way. Southend-on-Sea, Basildon, Colchester and Chelmsford are among the places we cover. Councils here include Southend-on-Sea, Tendring and Basildon. Southend, Basildon and Chelmsford have large retail streets, and Colchester and Saffron Walden have older centres.
What should you think about first?
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.
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.
Do I need a safety edge?
That depends on the risk assessment. Powered shutters near the public are assessed against BS EN 12453, and we quote what the result calls for.
What should you budget?
