Shop front shutters in Leicester: the essentials

Internal shutters behind the glazing protect stock without changing the street view, though they leave the glass exposed. Takeaways and late-opening shops often choose quieter aluminium curtains to reduce noise for neighbours above.

Your insurer may specify a minimum standard for out-of-hours protection, so it is worth checking your policy schedule before ordering. Hiding the shutter box behind the fascia keeps the frontage tidy, and is something many council design guides ask for.

Specification options

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

Where we work around Leicester

Rules in England

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

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.

Questions about shop front shutters in Leicester

Do you cover Leicester?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Leicester. We also cover nearby Oadby, Wigston and Loughborough.

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 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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

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.
