How shop front shutters work, and what to ask for

Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night. Councils generally treat an external shopfront shutter as development that needs planning permission, so the design is chosen with that in mind.

Takeaways and late-opening shops often choose quieter aluminium curtains to reduce noise for neighbours above. Perforated and punched laths are popular on high streets because the window display stays visible when the shop is closed.

What's included

  • Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
  • Powder coating to match your shopfront
  • Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
  • Designs chosen around local planning guidance
  • Separate door and window shutters if needed
  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal

Before you book in Cardiff

Do you cover Cardiff?

Yes. Cardiff (CF10) is within our South Glamorgan coverage, along with nearby Penarth, Caerphilly and Barry.

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.

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.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.

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.
