Our perforated roller shutters service in Barnstaple
Barnstaple is roughly 49 miles north of Plymouth.
For shops in Barnstaple, the shutter is specified around how often it runs, how the frontage looks and what your landlord or council expects.
If your shop in Barnstaple is on a parade or in a conservation area, the look of the shutter matters as much as the security, so we talk through planning-friendly options such as perforated laths or a box behind the fascia.
Whether your property is in the centre of Barnstaple or on its edges, it is included in our Devon coverage. Neighbouring towns we cover include Bideford (8 miles away), Tiverton and Exeter.

What to check in Barnstaple before ordering
In Barnstaple, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- Weather: Perforations let some wind and rain through, so think about the glazing behind and draughts in exposed spots.
- Planning: A perforated shutter is often the type councils will accept on a shopfront, but an application is usually still needed.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
Do you cover Barnstaple?
Yes. Book a survey for any address in Barnstaple in the usual way; it is covered as part of Devon.
Do I need permission for perforated roller shutters in Barnstaple?
New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. If you are unsure, ask your local council; we provide product details for any application.
