Choosing shop front shutters for premises in Lincoln
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.
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.
Options we can specify
- Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
- Powder coating to match your shopfront
- Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
- Designs chosen around local planning guidance
- Manual override for power cuts
- Key switch and remote operation

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.

Shop front shutters: common questions
Do you cover Lincoln?
Yes. Lincoln (LN2) is within our Lincolnshire coverage, along with nearby Gainsborough, Newark-on-Trent and Retford.
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.
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.
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.
Do your guide prices include VAT?
Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
