We cover Ballymena and the BT43 postcode district as part of County Antrim; you book a survey here exactly as you would anywhere else.

Ballymena sits some 23 miles to the north-west of Belfast.
Where a window in Ballymena has no power nearby, a solar shutter avoids running a cable; where there is a socket or spur, a wired motor is simpler.
If your shop in Ballymena is on a parade or in a conservation area, the look of the shutter matters as much as the security, so we talk through planning-friendly options such as perforated laths or a box behind the fascia.
Rules that apply in Ballymena
Planning in Ballymena 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.

Fire shutters that form part of building work also need approval from council building control.
