How shop front shutters work, and what to ask for

Councils generally treat an external shopfront shutter as development that needs planning permission, so the design is chosen with that in mind. A single curtain can cover the window and entrance together, or separate shutters can let you open the door while the window stays covered.

Key switch operation means the shutter can only be opened by a key holder standing at the frontage. Your insurer may specify a minimum standard for out-of-hours protection, so it is worth checking your policy schedule before ordering.

Specification options

  • Key switch and remote operation
  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal
  • Separate door and window shutters if needed
  • Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
  • Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
  • 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

  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 Sevenoaks

Do you cover Sevenoaks?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair shop front shutters in Sevenoaks and the TN13 district, as part of our coverage across Kent.

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.

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.

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.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.

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.
