What can you expect across County Durham?
From city-centre units to village parades, the job starts the same way. Darlington, Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees and Durham are among the places we cover. Councils here include Darlington, County Durham and Stockton-on-Tees. Darlington, Hartlepool and Stockton-on-Tees have long high streets, while Durham has a historic centre that needs care.
What should you check before you decide?
Is the box accessible for servicing?
It has to be. We build in a removable panel so that an engineer can reach the motor, brake and spring parts.
Will the colours really match?
Frame and shutter are powder coated to the same RAL reference. Coating on different materials can vary slightly, which we will show you on samples first.
What does one drawing change?
Everything lines up: door head, guide channels, fascia, sign fixing and power supply. It also gives your council or landlord one clear document to look at.

Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so your council will normally expect a planning application.
