Manual push-up and crank shutters still suit small frontages in Sittingbourne where there is no power at the box or the shutter only runs once a day.
If your shop in Sittingbourne 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.

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 Sittingbourne?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Sittingbourne are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do I need permission for perforated roller shutters in Sittingbourne?
Possibly. New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. We recommend checking with your local council first.
