What to know about shop front shutters in St Austell
Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night. 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. Perforated and punched laths are popular on high streets because the window display stays visible when the shop is closed.
Features to choose from
- Powder coating to match your shopfront
- Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
- Separate door and window shutters if needed
- Manual override for power cuts
- Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
- Box external, behind the fascia or internal

Rules in England
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

Shop front shutters: common questions
Do you cover St Austell?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair shop front shutters in St Austell and the PL25 district, as part of our coverage across Cornwall.
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.
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.
Can the shutter match my shopfront colour?
Yes. Shutters can be powder coated to a RAL colour, and the box and guides can be finished to match.
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.
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.
