Coverage in and around Antrim
We survey and install across County Antrim, and Antrim is one of the towns covered.
We also cover Ballymena, Newtownabbey and Belfast, so premises in more than one of these places can be quoted together.
Antrim is roughly 13 miles north-west of Belfast.
You do not have to do every window at once: in Antrim we can fit the ground-floor windows first and match the colour and box on others later.
From a single unit to several shops, premises in Antrim can be quoted together with one consistent specification.
Rules that apply in Antrim
Planning in Antrim follows the Planning Act (Northern Ireland) 2011 and the NI permitted development rules. Shopfront shutters usually need planning permission; for houses it depends on the property, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council, with the Department for Communities consulted.
Electrical work for powered shutters is carried out to BS 7671, carried out by a qualified electrician.
Fire shutters in workplaces and other non-domestic premises are maintained under the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010, where the appropriate person is responsible for keeping fire safety measures in working order. Fire shutters that form part of building work also need approval from council building control.
