How shop front shutters work, and what to ask for

Perforated and punched laths are popular on high streets because the window display stays visible when the shop is closed. Councils generally treat an external shopfront shutter as development that needs planning permission, so the design is chosen with that in mind.

Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night. 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

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

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.

Questions about shop front shutters in Stretford

Do you cover Stretford?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Stretford. We also cover nearby Urmston, Sale and Eccles.

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 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.

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.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
