Shop front shutters in Kendal: the essentials

A powder-coated colour that matches the shopfront helps the shutter look like part of the design rather than an add-on. 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. Councils generally treat an external shopfront shutter as development that needs planning permission, so the design is chosen with that in mind.

What's included

  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal
  • Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Designs chosen around local planning guidance
  • Powder coating to match your shopfront
  • Key switch and remote operation

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 Kendal?

Yes. Kendal (LA9) is within our Cumbria coverage, along with nearby Morecambe, Lancaster and Barrow-in-Furness.

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 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 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.

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.
