What can you expect across Bristol?
We work right across Bristol, including Central Bristol, Clifton, Bedminster and Fishponds. Rules on frontages and shutters differ from one council to the next. Bristol City Council is the council to check with here. Independent streets such as Gloucester Road and North Street sit alongside Broadmead and Clifton Village, each with its own character.
What should you check before you decide?
How long does a shutter last?
Curtains and guides can last many years with planned servicing. Motors, springs and locks go first, and a busy shop will wear them faster.
Surface box or hidden box?
A surface box under the fascia is quicker and cheaper. A hidden box looks far better, but needs height above the door head and a removable access panel.
Do I need a safety edge?
That depends on the risk assessment. Powered shutters near the public are assessed against BS EN 12453, and we quote what the result calls for.

Do you need consent across Bristol?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so your 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.
