How does it work across Northumberland?
From city-centre units to village parades, the job starts the same way. Blyth, Cramlington, Ashington and Bedlington are among the places we cover. Northumberland County Council is the council to check with here. Cramlington and Blyth lie in the south-east, with stone market towns such as Morpeth and Berwick-upon-Tweed further north.
What should you check before you decide?
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.
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.
Steel or aluminium laths?
Steel is stronger and heavier. Aluminium is lighter and quieter, which helps under flats. Most shops are well served by either.
