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 Gloucester?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Gloucester are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.

Typical prices are shown above. A survey at your property in Gloucester confirms the specification and fixes the price.
