Choosing shop front shutters for premises in Cheltenham

Internal shutters behind the glazing protect stock without changing the street view, though they leave the glass exposed. Takeaways and late-opening shops often choose quieter aluminium curtains to reduce noise for neighbours above.

Perforated and punched laths are popular on high streets because the window display stays visible when the shop is closed. Key switch operation means the shutter can only be opened by a key holder standing at the frontage.

Features to choose from

  • Designs chosen around local planning guidance
  • Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
  • Key switch and remote operation
  • Separate door and window shutters if needed
  • Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
  • Manual override for power cuts

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.

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Shop front shutters: common questions

Do you cover Cheltenham?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair shop front shutters in Cheltenham and the GL50 district, as part of our coverage across Gloucestershire.

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.

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 you fit outside trading hours?

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

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
