Roller shutters for Belfast
We cover Belfast and the city's postcode districts as part of County Antrim; you book a survey here exactly as you would anywhere else.
We also cover Newtownabbey, Lisburn and Newtownards, so premises in more than one of these places can be quoted together.
Window shutters are usually chosen for security when a house is empty, for blackout in bedrooms or for keeping summer heat off the glass, and the survey in Belfast starts with which of those matters most to you.
Perforated and grille shutters let passers-by in Belfast see the window display after hours, which many councils prefer on shopping streets.
Planning and safety in Belfast
Planning in Belfast 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.
