What to know about shop front shutters in Grays

Internal shutters behind the glazing protect stock without changing the street view, though they leave the glass exposed. Hiding the shutter box behind the fascia keeps the frontage tidy, and is something many council design guides ask for.

A powder-coated colour that matches the shopfront helps the shutter look like part of the design rather than an add-on. 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

  • Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal
  • Key switch and remote operation
  • Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
  • Powder coating to match your shopfront
  • Manual override for power cuts

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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Grays?

Yes. Grays (RM17) is within our Essex coverage, along with nearby South Ockendon, Gravesend and Dartford.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
