Covering Crowborough
We cover Crowborough and the TN6 postcode district as part of East Sussex; you book a survey here exactly as you would anywhere else.
Our coverage around Crowborough also includes Tunbridge Wells, East Grinstead and Tonbridge.
Crowborough sits some 21 miles to the north-east of Brighton.
Where a window in Crowborough has no power nearby, a solar shutter avoids running a cable; where there is a socket or spur, a wired motor is simpler.
Fitting on a high street in Crowborough is planned around trading hours, so disruption to the shop is kept to a minimum.
Planning and safety in Crowborough
Planning in Crowborough 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).
