How shop front shutters work, and what to ask for

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.

A powder-coated colour that matches the shopfront helps the shutter look like part of the design rather than an add-on. Key switch operation means the shutter can only be opened by a key holder standing at the frontage.

Features to choose from

  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal
  • Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
  • Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
  • Designs chosen around local planning guidance
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Powder coating to match your shopfront

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.

Questions about shop front shutters in Highbury

Do you cover Highbury?

Yes. Highbury (N5) is within our Greater London coverage, along with nearby Islington, Holloway and Stamford Hill.

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.

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.

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.

Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
