What to know about perforated & punched shutters in London
Some councils still refuse perforated external shutters in sensitive areas, so planning is checked before ordering. Perforated shutters can be powder coated, though very dark colours make the display behind harder to see.
Window displays stay on view to passers-by, so a closed shop can still advertise what it sells. Many council design guides prefer see-through shutters to solid ones because they avoid a blank frontage after hours.
Features to choose from
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths
- Electric or manual operation
- Ventilation through the curtain
- Window display visible after hours
- Box external, behind fascia or internal

Rules in England
Electrical work
Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Your questions answered
Do you cover London?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in London. We also cover nearby Westminster, Pimlico and Islington.
Is a perforated shutter less secure than a solid one?
The holes are small and the laths are the same gauge, so a perforated shutter still resists forced entry. For the highest-risk premises, a rated product or solid steel may still be recommended.
Do perforated shutters let rain in?
A little water can pass through the perforations in driving rain, which is why they are normally fitted in front of glazing rather than as the only weather barrier.
Are perforated shutters easier to get planning for?
Often, because they avoid a blank frontage at night, but each council decides case by case and some refuse any external shutter in conservation areas.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
What details help you quote quickly?
The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
