How does it work across Merseyside?
We work right across Merseyside, including Liverpool, Birkenhead, St Helens and Southport. Rules on frontages and shutters differ from one council to the next. Councils here include Liverpool, Wirral and Sefton. Bold Street and the Liverpool city centre sit alongside town centres in Birkenhead, Southport and St Helens.
What is worth knowing?
What about a fire exit?
A shutter must never trap people in. If it covers an escape route, it needs to be open while the premises are occupied, or opened easily from inside.
What electrics are needed?
A power supply near the box, installed by a qualified electrician. We show the position on the drawing.
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.

Will this need planning permission across Merseyside?
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.
