Choosing shop front shutters for premises in Poole
Councils generally treat an external shopfront shutter as development that needs planning permission, so the design is chosen with that in mind. 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. Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night.
Features to choose from
- Key switch and remote operation
- Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
- Manual override for power cuts
- Separate door and window shutters if needed
- Powder coating to match your shopfront
- Box external, behind the fascia or internal

Rules in England
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

Before you book in Poole
Do you cover Poole?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Poole. We also cover nearby Christchurch, New Milton and Weymouth.
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.
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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
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.
