How shop front shutters work, and what to ask for
Takeaways and late-opening shops often choose quieter aluminium curtains to reduce noise for neighbours above. Internal shutters behind the glazing protect stock without changing the street view, though they leave the glass exposed.
A single curtain can cover the window and entrance together, or separate shutters can let you open the door while the window stays covered. Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night.
What's included
- Powder coating to match your shopfront
- Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
- Designs chosen around local planning guidance
- Key switch and remote operation
- Separate door and window shutters if needed
- Box external, behind the fascia or internal

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.

Before you book in Harrow
Do you cover Harrow?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Harrow. We also cover nearby Wembley, Northolt and Greenford.
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.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
