Perforated shutters for properties in Didcot
Whether your property is in the centre of Didcot or on its edges, it is included in our Oxfordshire coverage. Our coverage around Didcot also includes Abingdon, Oxford and Thatcham.
Didcot is roughly 10 miles south of Oxford.
For shops in Didcot, the shutter is specified around how often it runs, how the frontage looks and what your landlord or council expects.
If your shop in Didcot 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.

Planning and safety in Didcot
In Didcot, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- 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
Can I see into the shop through a perforated shutter?
