Planning and safety in Sunderland
In Sunderland, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to 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.

Commercial roller shutters in Sunderland: questions
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.
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 you cover Sunderland?

Do I need permission for commercial roller shutters in Sunderland?
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.
