How shop front shutters work, and what to ask for

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. Takeaways and late-opening shops often choose quieter aluminium curtains to reduce noise for neighbours above.

Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night. Your insurer may specify a minimum standard for out-of-hours protection, so it is worth checking your policy schedule before ordering.

Covering Gloucestershire

We cover Gloucestershire from Gloucester to Cheltenham, Stroud and Kingswood, with 7 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.

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.

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.

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.

Before you book in Gloucestershire

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.

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 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 your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
