What should you check before you decide?
What decides the final package price?
Width, height, frame material, curtain type, and whether the box can be hidden. Access and strip-out are the other two things that move the price.
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.
Can I phase the work?
Yes. If cash flow is tight, we can fit the frontage first and leave the box, guides and power ready for the shutter later.
Do you need consent in Ely?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so East Cambridgeshire District 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 shopfront and shutter packages in Ely?
How long does a package take in Ely?
For aluminium and steel frontages, usually 3 to 6 weeks from drawing sign-off. Other materials are confirmed on your quotation.
Who decides planning for a frontage in Ely?
East Cambridgeshire District Council is the planning authority. We tell you at survey what is likely to need consent.
Do you cover Ely for both the shopfront and shutter?
Yes. One surveyor and one fitting team handle both parts in Ely.
Can the shutter box be hidden?
Usually, yes. When the frontage is new we can build the box in behind the fascia and leave an access panel for servicing. Head height above the door decides how much room there is.
