Coverage in and around Gloucester
If your address has a GL1 postcode, it falls within our Gloucestershire coverage.
Cheltenham, Stroud and Tewkesbury are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.
You do not have to do every window at once: in Gloucester we can fit the ground-floor windows first and match the colour and box on others later.
Fitting on a high street in Gloucester is planned around trading hours, so disruption to the shop is kept to a minimum.
Planning and safety in Gloucester
Planning in Gloucester 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).
