Planning and safety in Acton
As an English town, Acton follows the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the permitted development rules in England.
- 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
Can I see into the shop through a perforated shutter?
Yes, especially when the shop is lit. Punched vision laths give a clearer view.
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.
Is the survey free in Acton?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Acton are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
How much do perforated roller shutters cost in Acton?
We use the same UK guide prices in Acton; after the survey you get a fixed written price for your opening.
