What happens across Somerset?
In Somerset, 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 Bath, Weston-super-Mare, Taunton and Yeovil. Bath is a Georgian city, Taunton and Yeovil are the main towns, and Weston-super-Mare has seaside streets.

What should you think about first?
What electrics are needed?
A power supply near the box, installed by a qualified electrician. We show the position on the drawing.
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.
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 you need consent across Somerset?
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 Somerset?
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.
Do I need planning permission for a shutter across Somerset?
An external shutter usually needs it, and your council decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too.
How soon can you fit a shutter added to an existing shopfront across Somerset?
Lead time is 2 to 3 weeks after survey. We agree the fitting day with you.
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.
