Shop front shutters in Barking: the essentials
Councils generally treat an external shopfront shutter as development that needs planning permission, so the design is chosen with that in mind. Your insurer may specify a minimum standard for out-of-hours protection, so it is worth checking your policy schedule before ordering.
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.
Features to choose from
- Separate door and window shutters if needed
- Designs chosen around local planning guidance
- Powder coating to match your shopfront
- Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
- Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
- Manual override for power cuts

Shop front shutters: common questions
Do you cover Barking?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Barking. We also cover nearby Ilford, Becontree and Thamesmead.
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.
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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
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.
