Shop front shutters in Whitley Bay: the essentials

Your insurer may specify a minimum standard for out-of-hours protection, so it is worth checking your policy schedule before ordering. 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. Key switch operation means the shutter can only be opened by a key holder standing at the frontage.

Features to choose from

  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal
  • Key switch and remote operation
  • Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
  • Designs chosen around local planning guidance
  • Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks

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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Whitley Bay?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair shop front shutters in Whitley Bay and the NE26 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 repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.

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.
