Covering Birkenhead
We survey and install across Merseyside, and Birkenhead is one of the towns covered.
Neighbouring towns we cover include Liverpool (2 miles away), Wallasey and Bebington.
Birkenhead sits some 2 miles to the south-west of Liverpool.
Each window in Birkenhead is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.
Manual push-up and crank shutters still suit small frontages in Birkenhead where there is no power at the box or the shutter only runs once a day.
Rules that apply in Birkenhead
Planning in Birkenhead 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).
