Rules that apply in Northumberland
Northumberland 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.
- 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.

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