Coverage in and around Lichfield
Whether your property is in the centre of Lichfield or on its edges, it is included in our Staffordshire coverage.
We also cover Burntwood, Tamworth and Aldridge, so premises in more than one of these places can be quoted together.
Lichfield is roughly 27 miles south-east of Stoke-on-Trent.
You do not have to do every window at once: in Lichfield we can fit the ground-floor windows first and match the colour and box on others later.
Manual push-up and crank shutters still suit small frontages in Lichfield where there is no power at the box or the shutter only runs once a day.
Planning and safety in Lichfield
Planning in Lichfield 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).
