Planning and safety in Richmond
In Richmond, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- 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 Richmond: 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.
Are door shutters secure?
They add a strong physical layer in front of the door, especially with anti-lift locking. If you need a tested security rating, ask for a shutter certified to LPS 1175 or STS 202; the rating belongs to that tested product. PAS 24 applies to the door or window behind the shutter, not to the shutter itself.
Is the survey free in Richmond?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Richmond are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
