Covering Newport
Newport is part of our Gwent coverage, and addresses in the NP20 postcode district are covered in the same way as the rest of Gwent.
Neighbouring towns we cover include Risca (5 miles away), Cwmbran and Pontypool.
On houses in Newport, the practical questions are where the box can sit, how the shutter will be powered and whether the window is an escape route; the survey answers all three.
We check the fascia, the box space and the power supply on every shopfront in Newport before quoting, so the fixed price reflects the real job.
Rules that apply in Newport
Planning in Newport follows the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the Welsh 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, under the Historic Environment (Wales) Act 2023.
Electrical work for powered shutters is carried out to BS 7671, with notifiable work in homes (under Part P in Wales, whose list of notifiable work differs slightly from England's) self-certified by a competent person scheme electrician 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 local authority building control.
