Shop front shutters in Ashford (Kent): the essentials

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.

Perforated and punched laths are popular on high streets because the window display stays visible when the shop is closed. A single curtain can cover the window and entrance together, or separate shutters can let you open the door while the window stays covered.

Specification options

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

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.

Shop front shutters: common questions

Do you cover Ashford (Kent)?

Yes. Ashford (Kent) (TN24) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Faversham, Canterbury and Folkestone.

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.

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.

Do your guide prices include VAT?
