What happens across Powys?
Our teams cover Newtown, Brecon, Welshpool and Llandrindod Wells and the rest of Powys. If your shop is in a conservation area or a listed building, tell us at the start, because it changes the options. Newtown, Brecon and Welshpool are small market centres serving a very large rural county.
What should you check before you decide?
What electrics are needed?
A power supply near the box, installed by a qualified electrician. We show the position on the drawing.
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.
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.

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, and rules are set by the Welsh Government.

Usually closely. We read the frame colour at survey and pick the nearest RAL. Old powder coat fades, so an exact match is not always possible.
