What to check in Ashton-under-Lyne before ordering
As an English town, Ashton-under-Lyne follows the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the permitted development rules in England.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Questions about door roller shutters in Ashton-under-Lyne
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.
Can I get out if the door shutter is down?
Yes. The control is inside, and we fit a manual override so the shutter can be raised by hand if the power is off. We will not fit a shutter over your only exit that needs a key from inside.
Is the survey free in Ashton-under-Lyne?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Ashton-under-Lyne are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do I need permission for door roller shutters in Ashton-under-Lyne?
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.
