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. Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night.

Perforated and punched laths are popular on high streets because the window display stays visible when the shop is closed. Councils generally treat an external shopfront shutter as development that needs planning permission, so the design is chosen with that in mind.

Features to choose from

  • Powder coating to match your shopfront
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Designs chosen around local planning guidance
  • Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
  • Key switch and remote operation
  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal

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 Braintree?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair shop front shutters in Braintree and the CM7 district, as part of our coverage across Essex.

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.

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 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 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 work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
