Shop front shutters in Shropshire: the essentials

Key switch operation means the shutter can only be opened by a key holder standing at the frontage. Hiding the shutter box behind the fascia keeps the frontage tidy, and is something many council design guides ask for. A single curtain can cover the window and entrance together, or separate shutters can let you open the door while the window stays covered.

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.

Options we can specify

  • Separate door and window shutters if needed
  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal
  • Designs chosen around local planning guidance
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
  • Key switch and remote operation

Covering Shropshire

We cover Shropshire from Telford to Shrewsbury, Wellington (Shropshire) and Ludlow, with 4 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.

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.

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.

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Questions about shop front shutters in Shropshire

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.

Can the shutter match my shopfront colour?

Yes. Shutters can be powder coated to a RAL colour, and the box and guides can be finished to match.

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 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.

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.
