Rules that apply in Exeter
Exeter is in England, so planning decisions sit with your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- Fire strategy: If a shutter is on an escape route, it must fit the building's fire strategy and must not lock people in.
- Planning: New external shutters can need planning permission, particularly on street-facing elevations.
- Workplace safety: Powered doors in workplaces must be safe in use and properly maintained. We commission the safety devices and recommend a service interval.

Commercial roller shutters in Exeter: questions
Do commercial shutters need servicing?
Powered shutters in workplaces should be maintained so their safety devices keep working. Most sites book a service every six or twelve months.
What duty motor do I need?
It depends on how often the shutter opens. We ask about daily cycles at survey and size the motor and curtain so it is not overworked.
Is the survey free in Exeter?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
Do I need permission for commercial roller shutters in Exeter?
Possibly. New external shutters on street-facing elevations usually need planning permission; internal counter shutters usually do not. We recommend checking with your local council first.
