Choosing shop front shutters for premises in Farnworth
Key switch operation means the shutter can only be opened by a key holder standing at the frontage. Your insurer may specify a minimum standard for out-of-hours protection, so it is worth checking your policy schedule before ordering.
Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night. Councils generally treat an external shopfront shutter as development that needs planning permission, so the design is chosen with that in mind.
Features to choose from
- Designs chosen around local planning guidance
- Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
- Box external, behind the fascia or internal
- Powder coating to match your shopfront
- Manual override for power cuts
- 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.

Before you book in Farnworth
Do you cover Farnworth?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair shop front shutters in Farnworth and the BL4 district, as part of our coverage across Greater Manchester.
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.
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.
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.
