How shop front shutters work, and what to ask for
A powder-coated colour that matches the shopfront helps the shutter look like part of the design rather than an add-on. Takeaways and late-opening shops often choose quieter aluminium curtains to reduce noise for neighbours above. Key switch operation means the shutter can only be opened by a key holder standing at the frontage.
A single curtain can cover the window and entrance together, or separate shutters can let you open the door while the window stays covered. Hiding the shutter box behind the fascia keeps the frontage tidy, and is something many council design guides ask for.
Options we can specify
- Designs chosen around local planning guidance
- Box external, behind the fascia or internal
- Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
- Manual override for power cuts
- Key switch and remote operation
- Powder coating to match your shopfront

Covering Wiltshire
We cover Wiltshire from Swindon to Salisbury, Trowbridge and Chippenham, with 4 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.
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.
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.
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 Wiltshire
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 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.
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.
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.
What details help you quote quickly?
The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
