What to know about shop front shutters in Lancaster

Perforated and punched laths are popular on high streets because the window display stays visible when the shop is closed. A powder-coated colour that matches the shopfront helps the shutter look like part of the design rather than an add-on.

A single curtain can cover the window and entrance together, or separate shutters can let you open the door while the window stays covered. Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night.

What's included

  • Designs chosen around local planning guidance
  • Key switch and remote operation
  • Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
  • Powder coating to match your shopfront
  • Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal

Covering Lancaster and nearby

Jobs in Lancaster are planned as part of our Lancashire coverage, and visits can be combined with jobs in nearby Morecambe, Fleetwood and Thornton-Cleveleys. Planning rules are those of your local council in England.

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.

Shop front shutters: common questions

Do you cover Lancaster?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Lancaster. We also cover nearby Morecambe, Fleetwood and Thornton-Cleveleys.

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 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.

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.
