How shop front shutters work, and what to ask for
Internal shutters behind the glazing protect stock without changing the street view, though they leave the glass exposed. A powder-coated colour that matches the shopfront helps the shutter look like part of the design rather than an add-on.
Key switch operation means the shutter can only be opened by a key holder standing at the frontage. Your insurer may specify a minimum standard for out-of-hours protection, so it is worth checking your policy schedule before ordering.
Specification options
- Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
- Powder coating to match your shopfront
- Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
- Designs chosen around local planning guidance
- Key switch and remote operation
- Manual override for power cuts

Rules in England
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.

Before you book in Houghton-le-Spring
Do you cover Houghton-le-Spring?
Yes. Houghton-le-Spring (DH4) is within our Tyne and Wear coverage, along with nearby Chester-le-Street, Washington and Seaham.
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.
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.
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 details help you quote quickly?
