What to know about shop front shutters in Formby

Your insurer may specify a minimum standard for out-of-hours protection, so it is worth checking your policy schedule before ordering. Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night.

A single curtain can cover the window and entrance together, or separate shutters can let you open the door while the window stays covered. Perforated and punched laths are popular on high streets because the window display stays visible when the shop is closed.

Options we can specify

  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal
  • Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
  • Powder coating to match your shopfront
  • Separate door and window shutters if needed
  • Key switch and remote operation
  • Manual override for power cuts

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.

Questions about shop front shutters in Formby

Do you cover Formby?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Formby. We also cover nearby Maghull, Southport and Bootle.

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.

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.

Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.

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.
