Shop front shutters in Southport: the essentials

Hiding the shutter box behind the fascia keeps the frontage tidy, and is something many council design guides ask for. Councils generally treat an external shopfront shutter as development that needs planning permission, so the design is chosen with that in mind.

Your insurer may specify a minimum standard for out-of-hours protection, so it is worth checking your policy schedule before ordering. Internal shutters behind the glazing protect stock without changing the street view, though they leave the glass exposed.

Options we can specify

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

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.

Before you book in Southport

Do you cover Southport?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair shop front shutters in Southport and the PR8 district, as part of our coverage across Merseyside.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

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

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
