Choosing shop front shutters for premises in Manchester
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.
Perforated and punched laths are popular on high streets because the window display stays visible when the shop is closed. Key switch operation means the shutter can only be opened by a key holder standing at the frontage.
Features to choose from
- Separate door and window shutters if needed
- Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
- Powder coating to match your shopfront
- Key switch and remote operation
- Manual override for power cuts
- Designs chosen around local planning guidance

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 Manchester
Do you cover Manchester?
Yes. Manchester (M1) is within our Greater Manchester coverage, along with nearby Salford, Failsworth and Droylsden.
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.
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.
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.
