Rules that apply in Cumbria
Across Cumbria, planning follows the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the permitted development rules in England.
- Getting out safely: A shutter over an exit door must open from inside quickly and without a key. We set the switch inside the door and add a manual override.
- Planning: Front-door shutters change how the house looks from the street, so check with your council first, especially in a conservation area or on a listed building.
- Electrics: Wired to BS 7671. Notifiable work in homes in England and Wales, such as a new circuit, is self-certified by a competent person scheme electrician or notified to building control.

Door roller shutters in Cumbria: questions
Can it be opened from outside?
With a key switch, keypad or remote, yes. Without one, it can only be opened from inside, which suits back doors.
Will it fit round my door handle?
The shutter runs in front of the door frame, so handles, letterboxes and door canopies are measured at survey and the guides are set out to clear them.
Do I need permission for door roller shutters in Cumbria?
It depends on the property. External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. Check with your local council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
Is the survey free in Cumbria?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
