Choosing shop front shutters for premises in Washington
A powder-coated colour that matches the shopfront helps the shutter look like part of the design rather than an add-on. Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night.
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.
Options we can specify
- Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
- Box external, behind the fascia or internal
- Manual override for power cuts
- Key switch and remote operation
- Designs chosen around local planning guidance
- Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains

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.

Questions about shop front shutters in Washington
Do you cover Washington?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair shop front shutters in Washington and the NE37 district, as part of our coverage across Tyne and Wear.
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.
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.
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 you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
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.
