How does it work in Kempston?
Local rules matter more than people expect. Bedford Borough Council handles planning for Kempston, and its view of external shutters and frontage changes shapes what we recommend.
What should you check before you decide?
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.
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 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?
| Opening width | Typical unit | Guide price plus VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 3 m | A typical single shop unit | £1,750 to £2,295 |
| 3 to 4 m | A wider single unit | £2,195 to £2,895 |
| 4 to 5 m | A double-fronted or corner unit | £2,695 to £3,495 |
| 5 to 6 m | A large double unit | £3,195 to £4,295 |
Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Do you need consent in Kempston?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so Bedford Borough 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.
What do people ask about perforated roller shutters in Kempston?
Do you cover the postcodes around Kempston?
Yes, including MK42 and MK43.
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 Kempston?
An external shutter usually needs it, and Bedford Borough Council decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too.
Are perforated shutters as strong as solid ones?
Close to it. The holes are small and the lath keeps its shape, though a solid lath is still stronger.
