What can you expect across Leicestershire?
In Leicestershire, the usual route is the same wherever you are: a measured survey, an itemised quotation, then fitting at a time that suits the shop. Towns we cover include Leicester, Loughborough, Hinckley and Coalville. Leicester has its Golden Mile and city-centre streets, and market towns such as Loughborough, Hinckley and Market Harborough have smaller frontages.
What should you think about first?
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.
What will my insurer want?
Some insurers name a shutter type or rating, and many ask for locks and service records. Ask them before you order, as it saves a change later.
How is the shutter controlled?
By key switch, remote or both, and we specify a manual override for power cuts. Keep the override instructions somewhere that staff can find them.

Will this need planning permission across Leicestershire?
An external shutter normally needs planning permission from your 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 shutters for existing shopfronts across Leicestershire?
Can you match the shutter to my shopfront?
Yes. We powder coat to a RAL colour to match your frame as closely as we can.
How soon can you fit a shutter added to an existing shopfront across Leicestershire?
Lead time is 2 to 3 weeks after survey. We agree the fitting day with you.
Do I need planning permission for a shutter across Leicestershire?
An external shutter usually needs it, and your council decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too.
Do I need electrics near the shutter?
A power supply is needed near the box, fitted by a qualified electrician. We confirm the position at survey and show the cost as its own line on the quotation.
