Planning and safety in Wickford
In Wickford, 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.

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.
Is the survey free in Wickford?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Wickford are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do you cover Wickford?
Yes. Wickford and the SS12 postcode district are part of our coverage across Essex.
