How shop front shutters work, and what to 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.

Hiding the shutter box behind the fascia keeps the frontage tidy, and is something many council design guides ask for. Internal shutters behind the glazing protect stock without changing the street view, though they leave the glass exposed.

Options we can specify

  • Key switch and remote operation
  • Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
  • Separate door and window shutters if needed
  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal
  • Designs chosen around local planning guidance
  • 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.

Before you book in Ramsgate

Do you cover Ramsgate?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair shop front shutters in Ramsgate and the CT11 district, as part of our coverage across Kent.

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.

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 you fit outside trading hours?

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

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
