Rules that apply in Bishop Auckland
In Bishop Auckland, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- Planning: A perforated shutter is often the type councils will accept on a shopfront, but an application is usually still needed.
- Weather: Perforations let some wind and rain through, so think about the glazing behind and draughts in exposed spots.

Perforated roller shutters in Bishop Auckland: questions
Why do councils prefer perforated shutters?
They keep shopping streets looking lit and active after hours rather than lined with blank steel, which many shopfront design guides encourage.
Are perforated shutters less secure?
They are slightly lighter than solid shutters of the same gauge, but still form a strong physical barrier. Solid bottom laths add kick resistance.
Is the survey free in Bishop Auckland?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.

We use the same UK guide prices in Bishop Auckland; after the survey you get a fixed written price for your opening.
