Roller shutters in Ashington
Planning views on external shutters vary, so we go through what the local planning authority for Ashington is likely to expect.
We measure the box position on your Ashington frontage, because the head, fascia and any sign all affect where a shutter can go. Shops across Northumberland sometimes keep the fascia clear with an internal shutter, and we can price both routes for your Ashington premises.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 183 miles away, and send fitting teams across the North East. Travel is included in your written quote, not added afterwards. Our Ashington work takes in NE22, NE62, NE63. Neighbouring Blyth and Morpeth are covered too.

What does it cost in Ashington?
Roller shutters typically cost £1,495 to £3,695 ex VAT per shutter, supplied and fitted. Size, curtain type, electric or manual operation, powder coating and the position of the box set the range. Security-rated shutters, wiring and any planning application add more. A written quote follows once we have measured the opening and agreed how the shutter will operate.
Businesses in Ashington that close late with flats above may want a quieter electric motor, and we can talk through the options. Tell us your opening hours when you book and we will plan the Ashington job around them, with overnight or weekend fitting where the work allows.
Common questions
Do you work in NE22, NE62, NE63?

Do I need planning permission for a roller shutter?
External shutters often need planning permission in England, especially solid ones or those in conservation areas. Internal shutters usually do not, but listed buildings can need separate consent. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Our drawings can support an application for the council to decide.
What happens to an electric shutter in a power cut?
It can be opened with a manual override, such as a hand chain or crank, depending on the motor. Ask for this at order stage, because a shutter with no override can leave you locked out of the shop. We show staff how to use it at handover.
Do I need planning permission for a new shopfront in Ashington?
Usually yes, if the new front changes how the building looks. Like-for-like repairs usually don't. Your local planning authority decides, and we can prepare the drawings. Signs and external shutters have their own rules.
