Perforated shutters for properties in Wigan
Whether your property is in the centre of Wigan or on its edges, it is included in our Greater Manchester coverage. Hindley, Ashton-in-Makerfield and Westhoughton are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.
For reference, Wigan lies about 17 miles west of Manchester.
If your shop in Wigan is on a parade or in a conservation area, the look of the shutter matters as much as the security, so we talk through planning-friendly options such as perforated laths or a box behind the fascia.
Perforated and grille shutters let passers-by in Wigan see the window display after hours, which many councils prefer on shopping streets.

Rules that apply in Wigan
In Wigan, 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.

Questions about perforated roller shutters in Wigan
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.
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.
Do you cover Wigan?
Yes, we survey and fit in Wigan (WN1) as part of our Greater Manchester coverage.
Do I need permission for perforated roller shutters in Wigan?
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.
