Shop front shutters in London: the essentials

Councils generally treat an external shopfront shutter as development that needs planning permission, so the design is chosen with that in mind. 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. Internal shutters behind the glazing protect stock without changing the street view, though they leave the glass exposed.

Options we can specify

  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal
  • Separate door and window shutters if needed
  • Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
  • Designs chosen around local planning guidance
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Powder coating to match your shopfront

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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover London?

Yes. London (EC1A) is within our Greater London coverage, along with nearby Westminster, Pimlico and Islington.

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.

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.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
