Roller shutters for Whitehaven
Surveys in Whitehaven and the surrounding area are arranged directly with you, as part of our coverage across Cumbria.
Workington, Penrith and Barrow-in-Furness are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.
For reference, Whitehaven lies about 35 miles south-west of Carlisle.
Where a window in Whitehaven has no power nearby, a solar shutter avoids running a cable; where there is a socket or spur, a wired motor is simpler.
Manual push-up and crank shutters still suit small frontages in Whitehaven where there is no power at the box or the shutter only runs once a day.
Planning and safety in Whitehaven
Planning in Whitehaven 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).
