Shop front shutters in Belfast: the essentials

Key switch operation means the shutter can only be opened by a key holder standing at the frontage. Councils generally treat an external shopfront shutter as development that needs planning permission, so the design is chosen with that in mind.

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.

Specification options

  • Separate door and window shutters if needed
  • Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
  • Designs chosen around local planning guidance
  • Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
  • Powder coating to match your shopfront
  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal

Shop front shutters: common questions

Do you cover Belfast?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Belfast. We also cover nearby Newtownabbey, Lisburn and Newtownards.

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 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.

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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
