Choosing shop front shutters for premises in Sunderland

Takeaways and late-opening shops often choose quieter aluminium curtains to reduce noise for neighbours above. Hiding the shutter box behind the fascia keeps the frontage tidy, and is something many council design guides ask for.

Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night. Perforated and punched laths are popular on high streets because the window display stays visible when the shop is closed.

Options we can specify

  • Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
  • Powder coating to match your shopfront
  • Key switch and remote operation
  • Separate door and window shutters if needed
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Designs chosen around local planning guidance

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.

Before you book in Sunderland

Do you cover Sunderland?

Yes. Sunderland (SR1) is within our Tyne and Wear coverage, along with nearby Seaham, Washington and Houghton-le-Spring.

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.

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 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.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.

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.
