Planning and safety in Harlow
Harlow is in England, so planning decisions sit with 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 Harlow: questions
What finish is best for kitchens?
Stainless steel or anodised aluminium are easy to wipe down and resist corrosion.
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.
Do I need permission for counter & servery shutters in Harlow?
It depends on the property. New external shutters on street-facing elevations usually need planning permission; internal counter shutters usually do not. Check with your local council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
Do you cover Harlow?
Yes. Book a survey for any address in Harlow in the usual way; it is covered as part of Essex.
