Choosing shop front shutters for premises in Newton Abbot
Your insurer may specify a minimum standard for out-of-hours protection, so it is worth checking your policy schedule before ordering. A single curtain can cover the window and entrance together, or separate shutters can let you open the door while the window stays covered.
Takeaways and late-opening shops often choose quieter aluminium curtains to reduce noise for neighbours above. Perforated and punched laths are popular on high streets because the window display stays visible when the shop is closed.
Specification options
- Box external, behind the fascia or internal
- Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
- Powder coating to match your shopfront
- Designs chosen around local planning guidance
- Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
- Manual override for power cuts

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Newton Abbot?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair shop front shutters in Newton Abbot and the TQ12 district, as part of our coverage across Devon.
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.
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.
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.
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.
