What to know about shop front shutters in Strood

Councils generally treat an external shopfront shutter as development that needs planning permission, so the design is chosen with that in mind. Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night.

Takeaways and late-opening shops often choose quieter aluminium curtains to reduce noise for neighbours above. Hiding the shutter box behind the fascia keeps the frontage tidy, and is something many council design guides ask for.

Features to choose from

  • Key switch and remote operation
  • Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
  • Powder coating to match your shopfront
  • Separate door and window shutters if needed
  • Designs chosen around local planning guidance
  • Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks

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.

Before you book in Strood

Do you cover Strood?

Yes. Strood (ME2) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Rochester, Chatham and Gillingham.

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 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.

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
