What can you expect in Folkestone?
A frontage in Folkestone has to suit the street as well as the shop. Folkestone and Hythe District Council decides what is acceptable where planning applies, so we draw with that in mind.
What should you check before you decide?
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.
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.
How does a joint install save trading time?
The frontage and shutter go in as one sequence, so you close once. With two contractors, you close twice and hope they agree on who damaged what.

Will this need planning permission in Folkestone?
Probably, if it is external. Folkestone and Hythe District Council decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
