Fitting perforated roller shutters in Newton Abbot

We check the fascia, the box space and the power supply on every shopfront in Newton Abbot before quoting, so the fixed price reflects the real job.
If your shop in Newton Abbot 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.

What to check in Newton Abbot before ordering
In Newton Abbot, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to 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.

Questions about perforated roller shutters in Newton Abbot
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.
Do I need permission for perforated roller shutters in Newton Abbot?
Possibly. New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. We recommend checking with your local council first.
Is the survey free in Newton Abbot?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
