Planning and safety in Preston
Preston 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.
- Workplace safety: Powered doors in workplaces must be safe in use and properly maintained. We commission the safety devices and recommend a service interval.
- Planning: New external shutters can need planning permission, particularly on street-facing elevations.

Questions about commercial roller shutters in Preston
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.
Can you quote for several sites?
Yes. Send us the addresses and opening sizes or photos and we will arrange surveys and a combined quotation.
Do I need permission for commercial roller shutters in Preston?
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.
Is the survey free in Preston?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Preston are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
