Choosing shop front shutters for premises in Islington

Councils generally treat an external shopfront shutter as development that needs planning permission, so the design is chosen with that in mind. Hiding the shutter box behind the fascia keeps the frontage tidy, and is something many council design guides ask for.

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.

Options we can specify

  • Designs chosen around local planning guidance
  • Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Separate door and window shutters if needed
  • Key switch and remote operation

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.

Shop front shutters: common questions

Do you cover Islington?

Yes. Islington (N1) is within our Greater London coverage, along with nearby Highbury, Holloway and Camden Town.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

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.
