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. Internal shutters behind the glazing protect stock without changing the street view, though they leave the glass exposed.

A powder-coated colour that matches the shopfront helps the shutter look like part of the design rather than an add-on. Takeaways and late-opening shops often choose quieter aluminium curtains to reduce noise for neighbours above.

Features to choose from

  • Powder coating to match your shopfront
  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal
  • Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
  • Separate door and window shutters if needed
  • Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
  • Designs chosen around local planning guidance

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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Before you book in Gillingham

Do you cover Gillingham?

Yes. Gillingham (ME7) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Chatham, Rochester and Strood.

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.

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.

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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

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