How does it work in Southend-on-Sea?
Local rules matter more than people expect. Southend-on-Sea City Council handles planning for Southend-on-Sea, and its view of external shutters and frontage changes shapes what we recommend.
What makes the difference?
Can the shutter match my frontage?
Yes. Curtain, box and guides are powder coated to a RAL colour to match your frame as closely as the finish allows.
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.
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.
