Door shutters for properties in Preston
We cover Preston and the PR1 postcode district as part of Lancashire; you book a survey here exactly as you would anywhere else. We also cover Leyland, Chorley and Blackburn, so premises in more than one of these places can be quoted together.
Because a door shutter can cover an escape route, each one we fit in Preston has an inside control that works without a key, plus a manual override or battery backup.
If you are building an extension in Preston, tell us early: the shutter box is easiest to hide when it is planned before the lintel goes in.

What to check in Preston before ordering
As an English city, Preston 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
Is the survey free in Preston?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Preston are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
