Planning and safety in Penarth
In Penarth, as elsewhere in Wales, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the county or county borough council, or a national park authority).
- 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.
- 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
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.
How much does a door roller shutter cost?
A single door is usually £795–£1,195 including VAT, electric, supplied and fitted. Wider openings and doors with side lights cost more.
Do I need permission for door roller shutters in Penarth?
External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. If you are unsure, ask your local council; we provide product details for any application.
Is the survey free in Penarth?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
