What can you expect across Kent?
We work right across Kent, including Maidstone, Gillingham, Chatham and Tunbridge Wells. Rules on frontages and shutters differ from one council to the next. Councils here include Maidstone, Medway and Thanet. Maidstone, Canterbury and Ashford are the main centres, alongside Thanet's seaside towns and Medway's long high streets.
What makes the difference?
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.
Why plan the frontage and shutter together?
Because the shutter box needs a home. Plan it with the fascia and it disappears. Add it later and it usually ends up on the face of the building.
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.

Do you need consent across Kent?
Probably, if it is external. Your 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.
