What happens in Harwich?
A frontage in Harwich has to suit the street as well as the shop. Tendring District Council decides what is acceptable where planning applies, so we draw with that in mind.
What makes the difference?
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.
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.
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.
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 |

Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Will this need planning permission in Harwich?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so Tendring District 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.
What do people ask about vision roller shutters in Harwich?
Do I need planning permission for a shutter in Harwich?
An external shutter usually needs it, and Tendring District Council decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too.
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 you cover the postcodes around Harwich?
Yes, including CO12.
Are clear inserts worth having?
Usually, on exposed streets. They keep out litter and weather, but scratch over time.
