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

Questions about commercial roller shutters in Greenwich
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.
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.
Do I need permission for commercial roller shutters in Greenwich?
New external shutters on street-facing elevations usually need planning permission; internal counter shutters usually do not. If you are unsure, ask your local council; we provide product details for any application.
