What happens in Handsworth?
Our surveys in Handsworth cover postcodes including B21 and B20, along with Smethwick and Perry Barr. Planning applications here go to Birmingham City Council, so it is worth reading any shopfront guidance it publishes before anything is drawn.
What should you check before you decide?
How long does a shutter last?
Curtains and guides can last many years with planned servicing. Motors, springs and locks go first, and a busy shop will wear them faster.
Do I need a safety edge?
That depends on the risk assessment. Powered shutters near the public are assessed against BS EN 12453, and we quote what the result calls for.
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 are the guide prices?
| Opening width | Typical unit | Guide price plus VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 3 m | A typical single shop unit | £2,195 to £2,895 |
| 3 to 4 m | A wider single unit | £2,795 to £3,595 |
| 4 to 5 m | A double-fronted or corner unit | £3,395 to £4,395 |
| 5 to 6 m | A large double unit | £3,995 to £5,195 |
Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Will this need planning permission in Handsworth?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so Birmingham City 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.
