What happens across Kent?
Our teams cover Maidstone, Gillingham, Chatham and Tunbridge Wells and the rest of Kent. If your shop is in a conservation area or a listed building, tell us at the start, because it changes the options. Maidstone, Canterbury and Ashford are the main centres, alongside Thanet's seaside towns and Medway's long high streets.
What should you check before you decide?
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.
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.
Steel or aluminium laths?
Steel is stronger and heavier. Aluminium is lighter and quieter, which helps under flats. Most shops are well served by either.
What are the guide prices?

Usually not for internal work, although listed buildings can need consent even inside. Your council can confirm. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.

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.
Grille or shutter: which is better?
A grille keeps the shop on show and suits lower-risk streets. A shutter gives more protection and hides stock.
