What to check in Herne Bay before ordering
In Herne Bay, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- 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.
- 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.

Door roller shutters in Herne Bay: questions
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.
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 you cover Herne Bay?
Yes. Herne Bay and the CT6 postcode district are part of our coverage across Kent.
