What to check in Burntwood before ordering
As an English town, Burntwood follows the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the permitted development rules in England.
- 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 Burntwood
What finish is best for kitchens?
Stainless steel or anodised aluminium are easy to wipe down and resist corrosion.
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.
Do I need permission for counter & servery shutters in Burntwood?
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.
