Commercial shutters for properties in Oxford
Schools, surgeries, canteens and community buildings in Oxford use counter and servery shutters to lock down a hatch or reception when it is closed.
Where a counter shutter sits in a fire-resisting wall in a building in Oxford, it needs to be a fire-rated product chosen to match the fire strategy.
Oxford is part of our Oxfordshire coverage, and addresses in the OX1 postcode district are covered in the same way as the rest of Oxfordshire. Neighbouring towns we cover include Abingdon (6 miles away), Didcot and Witney.

Planning and safety in Oxford
Oxford is in England, so planning decisions sit with your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- 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.
- Fire strategy: If a shutter is on an escape route, it must fit the building's fire strategy and must not lock people in.
