Shop front shutters in Ashington: the essentials

Councils generally treat an external shopfront shutter as development that needs planning permission, so the design is chosen with that in mind. Perforated and punched laths are popular on high streets because the window display stays visible when the shop is closed.

Internal shutters behind the glazing protect stock without changing the street view, though they leave the glass exposed. Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night.

Features to choose from

  • Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
  • Designs chosen around local planning guidance
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Key switch and remote operation
  • Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
  • Separate door and window shutters if needed

Rules in England

Safety of powered shutters

Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

Questions about shop front shutters in Ashington

Do you cover Ashington?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Ashington. We also cover nearby Morpeth, Cramlington and Whitley Bay.

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.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

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