Rules that apply in Farnworth
In Farnworth, 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.
- 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.
- Hygiene: In food areas, choose finishes that are easy to clean and keep the bottom rail clear of food prep.

Questions about counter & servery shutters in Farnworth
What finish is best for kitchens?
Stainless steel or anodised aluminium are easy to wipe down and resist corrosion.

Is the survey free in Farnworth?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Farnworth are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
Do I need permission for counter & servery shutters in Farnworth?
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.
