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.
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.
What happens to my old frontage?
If the job is a replacement, removal and disposal are priced on the quotation, and we aim to leave the unit secure or boarded overnight.
Do you need consent in St Albans?
An external shutter normally needs planning permission from St Albans City and District Council. An internal shutter or grille often does not, so it is worth checking before you order. 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 St Albans?
How long does a package take in St Albans?
For aluminium and steel frontages, usually 3 to 6 weeks from drawing sign-off. Other materials are confirmed on your quotation.
Do you cover St Albans for both the shopfront and shutter?
Yes. One surveyor and one fitting team handle both parts in St Albans.
Who decides planning for a frontage in St Albans?
St Albans City and District Council is the planning authority. We tell you at survey what is likely to need consent.
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.
