Shop front shutters in Hemel Hempstead: the essentials

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.

Councils generally treat an external shopfront shutter as development that needs planning permission, so the design is chosen with that in mind. Internal shutters behind the glazing protect stock without changing the street view, though they leave the glass exposed.

Features to choose from

  • Powder coating to match your shopfront
  • Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
  • Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
  • Designs chosen around local planning guidance
  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal
  • Key switch and remote operation

Rules in England

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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Hemel Hempstead?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Hemel Hempstead. We also cover nearby Berkhamsted, St Albans and Harpenden.

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.

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.

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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.

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.
