Choosing shop front shutters for premises in Oxford

Internal shutters behind the glazing protect stock without changing the street view, though they leave the glass exposed. Hiding the shutter box behind the fascia keeps the frontage tidy, and is something many council design guides ask for.

Key switch operation means the shutter can only be opened by a key holder standing at the frontage. A powder-coated colour that matches the shopfront helps the shutter look like part of the design rather than an add-on.

Specification options

  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal
  • Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
  • Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
  • Key switch and remote operation
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Separate door and window shutters if needed

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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Oxford?

Yes. Oxford (OX1) is within our Oxfordshire coverage, along with nearby Abingdon, Didcot and Witney.

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.

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.

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.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
