How shop front shutters work, and what to ask for
A powder-coated colour that matches the shopfront helps the shutter look like part of the design rather than an add-on. Perforated and punched laths are popular on high streets because the window display stays visible when the shop is closed. Hiding the shutter box behind the fascia keeps the frontage tidy, and is something many council design guides ask for.
A single curtain can cover the window and entrance together, or separate shutters can let you open the door while the window stays covered. Councils generally treat an external shopfront shutter as development that needs planning permission, so the design is chosen with that in mind.
Options we can specify
- Designs chosen around local planning guidance
- Separate door and window shutters if needed
- Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
- Manual override for power cuts
- Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
- Key switch and remote operation

Rules in Wales
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In Wales an external shopfront shutter normally needs planning permission from your county or county borough council, or the national park authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Welsh councils' design guidance often prefers internal or open-pattern grilles to solid shutters, particularly in conservation areas.
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.
Electrical work
Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in Wales, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations as applied in Wales, so the work is self-certified by a registered electrician or notified to building control.

Shop front shutters: common questions
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 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.
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.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
