How shop front shutters work, and what to ask for
Internal shutters behind the glazing protect stock without changing the street view, though they leave the glass exposed. 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. Takeaways and late-opening shops often choose quieter aluminium curtains to reduce noise for neighbours above.
Specification options
- Designs chosen around local planning guidance
- Box external, behind the fascia or internal
- Powder coating to match your shopfront

Rules in England
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

Questions about shop front shutters in Andover
Do you cover Andover?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair shop front shutters in Andover and the SP10 district, as part of our coverage across Hampshire.
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.
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.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
What details help you quote quickly?
