Our perforated roller shutters service in Croydon
Whether your property is in the centre of Croydon or on its edges, it is included in our Greater London coverage. Our coverage around Croydon also includes South Croydon, Wallington and Carshalton.
Croydon sits some 9 miles to the south of central London.
Manual push-up and crank shutters still suit small frontages in Croydon where there is no power at the box or the shutter only runs once a day.
Fitting on a high street in Croydon is planned around trading hours, so disruption to the shop is kept to a minimum.

Planning and safety in Croydon
In Croydon, 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
Can I see into the shop through a perforated shutter?
Yes, especially when the shop is lit. Punched vision laths give a clearer view.
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.
Is the survey free in Croydon?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
Do I need permission for perforated roller shutters in Croydon?
It depends on the property. New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. Check with your local council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
