What should you think about first?
Should I choose solid or perforated?
Solid gives more privacy and strength. Perforated keeps the window working at night. On the outside of a shop, some councils resist both, so check before you choose.
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.
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.
Will this need planning permission in Margate?
Probably, if it is external. Thanet 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.
What do people ask about shopfront and shutter packages in Margate?
Can you fit a package around my trading hours in Margate?
Yes. Closed-day or out-of-hours fitting can be arranged.
How long does a package take in Margate?
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 Margate?
Thanet District Council is the planning authority. We tell you at survey what is likely to need consent.
Is it cheaper to buy the shopfront and shutter together?
We price each part honestly and do not promise a discount. What you avoid is a second survey, a second visit, a second closure and a shutter box added after the event.
