Shop front shutters in Bow: the essentials

Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night. Takeaways and late-opening shops often choose quieter aluminium curtains to reduce noise for neighbours above.

A powder-coated colour that matches the shopfront helps the shutter look like part of the design rather than an add-on. Your insurer may specify a minimum standard for out-of-hours protection, so it is worth checking your policy schedule before ordering.

Options we can specify

  • Powder coating to match your shopfront
  • Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
  • Separate door and window shutters if needed
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Key switch and remote operation
  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal

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.

  3. You approve a fixed price

Questions about shop front shutters in Bow

Do you cover Bow?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Bow. We also cover nearby Stratford (London), Canary Wharf and Canning Town.

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.

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 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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

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