Shop front shutters in Corby: the essentials
Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night. A powder-coated colour that matches the shopfront helps the shutter look like part of the design rather than an add-on.
Councils generally treat an external shopfront shutter as development that needs planning permission, so the design is chosen with that in mind. Key switch operation means the shutter can only be opened by a key holder standing at the frontage.
Options we can specify
- Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
- Box external, behind the fascia or internal
- Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
- Manual override for power cuts
- Powder coating to match your shopfront
- Designs chosen around local planning guidance

Questions about shop front shutters in Corby
Do you cover Corby?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Corby. We also cover nearby Uppingham, Kettering and Market Harborough.
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.
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.
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.
