Rules that apply in Brecon
As a Welsh town, Brecon follows the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the Welsh permitted development rules.
- 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 regulations approval is needed from local authority building control.
- Hygiene: In food areas, choose finishes that are easy to clean and keep the bottom rail clear of food prep.

Frequently asked questions
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 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.
Is the survey free in Brecon?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
Do I need permission for counter & servery shutters in Brecon?
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.
