Fitting perforated roller shutters in Newport
If your shop in Newport 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.
From a single unit to several shops, premises in Newport can be quoted together with one consistent specification.
We survey and install across Gwent, and Newport is one of the cities covered. Other towns nearby that we cover include Risca, Cwmbran and Pontypool.

Rules that apply in Newport
In Newport, as elsewhere in Wales, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the county or county borough council, or a national park authority).
- 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
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.
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 Newport?
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 Newport?
New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. If you are unsure, ask your local council; we provide product details for any application.
