How shop front shutters work, and what to ask for

Hiding the shutter box behind the fascia keeps the frontage tidy, and is something many council design guides ask for. Councils generally treat an external shopfront shutter as development that needs planning permission, so the design is chosen with that in mind.

Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night. Takeaways and late-opening shops often choose quieter aluminium curtains to reduce noise for neighbours above.

Options we can specify

  • Powder coating to match your shopfront
  • Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal
  • Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
  • Key switch and remote operation
  • Designs chosen around local planning guidance

Rules in England

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Shop front shutters: common questions

Do you cover Bournemouth?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair shop front shutters in Bournemouth and the BH1 district, as part of our coverage across Dorset.

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 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.

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.
