Planning and safety in Rickmansworth

- Planning: A perforated shutter is often the type councils will accept on a shopfront, but an application is usually still needed.

Perforated roller shutters in Rickmansworth: 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.
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.
Do you cover Rickmansworth?
Yes, we survey and fit in Rickmansworth (WD3) as part of our Hertfordshire coverage.
Do I need permission for perforated roller shutters in Rickmansworth?
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.
