Covering Cambridge
Whether your property is in the centre of Cambridge or on its edges, it is included in our Cambridgeshire coverage.
Other towns nearby that we cover include Newmarket, Ely and Huntingdon.
Cambridge sits some 30 miles to the south-east of Peterborough.
You do not have to do every window at once: in Cambridge we can fit the ground-floor windows first and match the colour and box on others later.
We check the fascia, the box space and the power supply on every shopfront in Cambridge before quoting, so the fixed price reflects the real job.
Planning and safety in Cambridge
Planning in Cambridge follows the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the permitted development rules in England. Shopfront shutters usually need planning permission; for houses it depends on the property, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, with Historic England involved for higher-grade buildings.
Electrical work for powered shutters is carried out to BS 7671, with notifiable work in homes (under Part P) self-certified by an electrician registered with a competent person scheme or notified to building control.
Fire shutters in workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats, are maintained under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, where the responsible person is responsible for keeping fire safety measures in working order. Fire shutters that form part of building work also need approval from building control (council or a registered building control approver).
