How shop front shutters work, and what to ask for
Internal shutters behind the glazing protect stock without changing the street view, though they leave the glass exposed. 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 powder-coated colour that matches the shopfront helps the shutter look like part of the design rather than an add-on.
What's included
- Manual override for power cuts
- Key switch and remote operation
- Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
- Box external, behind the fascia or internal
- Separate door and window shutters if needed
- Powder coating to match your shopfront

Rules in England

Before you book in Newton Aycliffe
Do you cover Newton Aycliffe?
Yes. Newton Aycliffe (DL5) is within our County Durham coverage, along with nearby Bishop Auckland, Stockton-on-Tees and Durham.
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.
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.
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.
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.
