Covering Billericay
We cover Billericay and the CM11 postcode district as part of Essex; you book a survey here exactly as you would anywhere else.
We also cover Basildon, Wickford and Brentwood, so premises in more than one of these places can be quoted together.
For reference, Billericay lies about 8 miles south of Chelmsford.
You do not have to do every window at once: in Billericay 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 Billericay can be quoted together with one consistent specification.
Planning and safety in Billericay
Planning in Billericay 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).
