Our perforated roller shutters service in Christchurch
Whether your property is in the centre of Christchurch or on its edges, it is included in our Dorset coverage. Bournemouth, New Milton and Poole are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.
Christchurch is roughly 4 miles east of Bournemouth.
Fitting on a high street in Christchurch is planned around trading hours, so disruption to the shop is kept to a minimum.
Manual push-up and crank shutters still suit small frontages in Christchurch where there is no power at the box or the shutter only runs once a day.

Planning and safety in Christchurch
In Christchurch, 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
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.
Can I see into the shop through a perforated shutter?
Yes, especially when the shop is lit. Punched vision laths give a clearer view.
Do I need permission for perforated roller shutters in Christchurch?
Possibly. New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. We recommend checking with your local council first.
How much do perforated roller shutters cost in Christchurch?
Typical prices are shown above. A survey at your property in Christchurch confirms the specification and fixes the price.
