How shop front shutters work, and what to ask for
Your insurer may specify a minimum standard for out-of-hours protection, so it is worth checking your policy schedule before ordering. Key switch operation means the shutter can only be opened by a key holder standing at the frontage.
Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night. Hiding the shutter box behind the fascia keeps the frontage tidy, and is something many council design guides ask for.

- Designs chosen around local planning guidance
- Separate door and window shutters if needed
- Key switch and remote operation

Rules in England

Questions about shop front shutters in Wigan
Do you cover Wigan?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair shop front shutters in Wigan and the WN1 district, as part of our coverage across Greater Manchester.
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.
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.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
