What to check in East Grinstead before ordering
East Grinstead is in England, so planning decisions sit with your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- Hygiene: In food areas, choose finishes that are easy to clean and keep the bottom rail clear of food prep.
- 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.

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