How shop front shutters work, and what to ask for
Perforated and punched laths are popular on high streets because the window display stays visible when the shop is closed. Takeaways and late-opening shops often choose quieter aluminium curtains to reduce noise for neighbours above.
Your insurer may specify a minimum standard for out-of-hours protection, so it is worth checking your policy schedule before ordering. A single curtain can cover the window and entrance together, or separate shutters can let you open the door while the window stays covered.
Features to choose from
- Box external, behind the fascia or internal
- Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
- Key switch and remote operation
- Designs chosen around local planning guidance
- Powder coating to match your shopfront
- Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains

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.

Questions about shop front shutters in Hornchurch
Do you cover Hornchurch?
Yes. Hornchurch (RM11) is within our Greater London coverage, along with nearby Romford, Dagenham and Becontree.
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.
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.
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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
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.
