Rules that apply in Gillingham
In Gillingham, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- Fire shutters: Faults on fire shutters affect the building's fire safety; tell the person responsible for fire safety and arrange repair promptly.
- Safety first: Do not keep forcing a shutter that has jammed or dropped; a sprung or heavy curtain can move suddenly. Keep people clear and call us.

We repair most domestic and commercial roller shutters. If a part is no longer made we will offer a compatible alternative or a replacement curtain or motor.
My shutter came down on its own, is it safe?
Keep people away from it and do not try to lift it by hand; a broken spring or failed brake can make it move unexpectedly. Call us and we will make it safe.
