Rules that apply in Peterlee
In Peterlee, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- Fire separation: If the hatch breaks a fire-resisting wall, the shutter must be a tested fire-rated product installed to the manufacturer's instructions; a standard counter shutter will not do.
- Hygiene: In food areas, choose finishes that are easy to clean and keep the bottom rail clear of food prep.
- Approvals: Where a fire-rated counter shutter is part of building work, such as a new hatch in a fire-resisting wall, building control approval is needed, from the council or a registered building control approver.

Counter & servery shutters in Peterlee: questions
Do I need a fire-rated counter shutter?
If the hatch is in a wall that is meant to resist fire, such as a kitchen wall onto a corridor, yes. Your fire risk assessment or building drawings will usually say.
Can a counter shutter be electric?
Yes, with a small tube motor and key switch. Manual spring-balanced shutters are simpler and suit smaller hatches.
Is the survey free in Peterlee?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Peterlee are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do you cover Peterlee?
Yes. Book a survey for any address in Peterlee in the usual way; it is covered as part of County Durham.
