Choosing shop front shutters for premises in Prestwich
Hiding the shutter box behind the fascia keeps the frontage tidy, and is something many council design guides ask for. Councils generally treat an external shopfront shutter as development that needs planning permission, so the design is chosen with that in mind.
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.
Features to choose from
- Separate door and window shutters if needed
- Designs chosen around local planning guidance
- Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
- Box external, behind the fascia or internal
- Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
- Key switch and remote operation

Rules in England
Electrical work
Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Prestwich?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair shop front shutters in Prestwich and the M25 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.
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 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 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.
