Shop front shutters in Cambridge: the essentials

Key switch operation means the shutter can only be opened by a key holder standing at the frontage. Hiding the shutter box behind the fascia keeps the frontage tidy, and is something many council design guides ask for.

Internal shutters behind the glazing protect stock without changing the street view, though they leave the glass exposed. A single curtain can cover the window and entrance together, or separate shutters can let you open the door while the window stays covered.

Specification options

  • Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
  • Key switch and remote operation
  • Powder coating to match your shopfront
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal
  • Designs chosen around local planning guidance

Rules in England

Safety of powered shutters

Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

  2. Free survey

  3. Written fixed price

    You get a written quote with the product, finish, controls and price before anything is ordered.

  4. Made, fitted and handed over

    The shutter is made to measure, fitted, commissioned and handed over with its documents.

Shop front shutters: common questions

Do you cover Cambridge?

Yes. Cambridge (CB1) is within our Cambridgeshire coverage, along with nearby Newmarket, Ely and Huntingdon.

Will a shutter lower my insurance premium?

It can help, and some insurers require a shutter for certain trades. Check your policy schedule for any stated standard before you order so the shutter meets it.

Can I keep my window display visible at night?

Yes. Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths, or an open roller grille, let the display show through while the shopfront is secured.

Which shutter is most likely to get planning approval?

Councils commonly prefer internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs, and boxes hidden behind the fascia. Solid external shutters are often refused in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
