Rochester is in England, so planning decisions sit with your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).

- Ventilation: Keep background ventilation in mind in rooms with gas appliances; slotted laths or a part-open setting help.

Frequently asked questions
Do roller shutters really insulate?
Insulated shutters reduce heat loss when they are closed, mainly at night, and stop solar heat in summer. They complement good windows rather than replace them.
Can I get insulated shutters for a shop or unit?
Yes. Insulated commercial and industrial doors are available in larger sizes with deeper laths and better seals.
Do I need permission for insulated roller shutters & doors in Rochester?
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.
How much do insulated roller shutters & doors cost in Rochester?
We use the same UK guide prices in Rochester; after the survey you get a fixed written price for your opening.
