Choosing shop front shutters for premises in Peterborough
Councils generally treat an external shopfront shutter as development that needs planning permission, so the design is chosen with that in mind. Key switch operation means the shutter can only be opened by a key holder standing at the frontage.
A single curtain can cover the window and entrance together, or separate shutters can let you open the door while the window stays covered. Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night.
Specification options
- Key switch and remote operation
- Manual override for power cuts
- Box external, behind the fascia or internal
- Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
- Separate door and window shutters if needed
- Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks

Your questions answered
Do you cover Peterborough?
Yes. Peterborough (PE1) is within our Cambridgeshire coverage, along with nearby Stamford, March and Spalding.
Do I need planning permission for a shop shutter?
In most cases yes. External shutters change the appearance of a shopfront, so councils usually require planning permission, and listed buildings also need listed building consent. Internal shutters often do not need planning permission but may still need consent on a listed building.
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.
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.
Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
