Choosing shop front shutters for premises in East Grinstead

Key switch operation means the shutter can only be opened by a key holder standing at the frontage. Perforated and punched laths are popular on high streets because the window display stays visible when the shop is closed.

Internal shutters behind the glazing protect stock without changing the street view, though they leave the glass exposed. 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

  • Powder coating to match your shopfront
  • Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal
  • Manual override for power cuts
  • Separate door and window shutters if needed
  • 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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Questions about shop front shutters in East Grinstead

Do you cover East Grinstead?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in East Grinstead. We also cover nearby Horley, Crowborough and Haywards Heath.

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.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
