Covering Newcastle upon Tyne
Surveys in Newcastle upon Tyne and the surrounding area are arranged directly with you, as part of our coverage across Tyne and Wear.
We also cover Gateshead, Wallsend and Hebburn, so premises in more than one of these places can be quoted together.
If you let out a property in Newcastle upon Tyne, window and door shutters can protect it between tenancies or bookings, and solar or remote control avoids extra wiring.
Fitting on a high street in Newcastle upon Tyne is planned around trading hours, so disruption to the shop is kept to a minimum.
Planning and safety in Newcastle upon Tyne
Planning in Newcastle upon Tyne 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).
