How shop front shutters work, and what to ask for

Hiding the shutter box behind the fascia keeps the frontage tidy, and is something many council design guides ask for. Your insurer may specify a minimum standard for out-of-hours protection, so it is worth checking your policy schedule before ordering.

Perforated and punched laths are popular on high streets because the window display stays visible when the shop is closed. Key switch operation means the shutter can only be opened by a key holder standing at the frontage.

Features to choose from

  • Separate door and window shutters if needed
  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal
  • Key switch and remote operation
  • Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
  • Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
  • Powder coating to match your shopfront

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.

Questions about shop front shutters in Widnes

Do you cover Widnes?

Yes. Widnes (WA8) is within our Cheshire coverage, along with nearby Runcorn, Halewood and Prescot.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
