Choosing shop front shutters for premises in Witham

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.

Perforated and punched laths are popular on high streets because the window display stays visible when the shop is closed. Takeaways and late-opening shops often choose quieter aluminium curtains to reduce noise for neighbours above.

Features to choose from

  • Designs chosen around local planning guidance
  • Powder coating to match your shopfront
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal
  • Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
  • Separate door and window shutters if needed

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.

Questions about shop front shutters in Witham

Do you cover Witham?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Witham. We also cover nearby Maldon, Braintree and Chelmsford.

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 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.

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.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.

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.
