Our perforated roller shutters service in Falmouth
Falmouth sits some 8 miles to the south of Truro.
For shops in Falmouth, the shutter is specified around how often it runs, how the frontage looks and what your landlord or council expects.
We check the fascia, the box space and the power supply on every shopfront in Falmouth before quoting, so the fixed price reflects the real job.
We survey and install across Cornwall, and Falmouth is one of the towns covered. Our coverage around Falmouth also includes Truro, Redruth and Camborne.

Planning and safety in Falmouth
Falmouth is in England, so planning decisions sit with your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- Planning: A perforated shutter is often the type councils will accept on a shopfront, but an application is usually still needed.
- Weather: Perforations let some wind and rain through, so think about the glazing behind and draughts in exposed spots.

Frequently asked questions
Why do councils prefer perforated shutters?
They keep shopping streets looking lit and active after hours rather than lined with blank steel, which many shopfront design guides encourage.
Are perforated shutters less secure?
They are slightly lighter than solid shutters of the same gauge, but still form a strong physical barrier. Solid bottom laths add kick resistance.
How much do perforated roller shutters cost in Falmouth?
The guide prices above apply in Falmouth. Your exact price depends on size, finish, controls and access, and is fixed in writing after survey.
Is the survey free in Falmouth?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
