What can you expect across Tyne and Wear?
From city-centre units to village parades, the job starts the same way. Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, South Shields and Gateshead are among the places we cover. Councils here include Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland and South Tyneside. Newcastle has Grainger Town, and Sunderland, Gateshead and coastal centres such as Whitley Bay and Tynemouth have their own high streets.
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.
How is the shutter controlled?
By key switch, remote or both, and we specify a manual override for power cuts. Keep the override instructions somewhere that staff can find them.
What electrics are needed?
A power supply near the box, installed by a qualified electrician. We show the position on the drawing.
