Choosing shop front shutters for premises in Westminster

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

A powder-coated colour that matches the shopfront helps the shutter look like part of the design rather than an add-on. Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night.

Specification options

  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal
  • Separate door and window shutters if needed
  • Powder coating to match your shopfront
  • Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
  • Designs chosen around local planning guidance
  • Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks

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.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Shop front shutters: common questions

Do you cover Westminster?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair shop front shutters in Westminster and the SW1 district, as part of our coverage across Greater London.

Can the shutter match my shopfront colour?

Yes. Shutters can be powder coated to a RAL colour, and the box and guides can be finished to match.

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.

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.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.

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.
