What can you expect in Newtownards?
Whether the unit is on the main shopping street or a local parade in Newtownards, the job is measured the same way, and Ards and North Down Borough Council is the council to check with.
What should you check before you decide?
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.
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.
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.
How much will it cost?

Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so Ards and North Down Borough Council will normally expect a planning application. In Northern Ireland, councils decide planning applications, and Building Control applications are separate. Listed buildings need listed building consent.
