What is worth knowing?
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.
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.
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.
Do you need consent in Shirley?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so Solihull Metropolitan 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 Shirley?
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 Shirley?
An external shutter usually needs it, and Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too.
How soon can you fit a perforated roller shutter in Shirley?
Lead time is 2 to 3 weeks after survey. We agree the fitting day with you.
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.
