What to check in Gateshead before ordering
In Gateshead, 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
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.
Do I need permission for perforated roller shutters in Gateshead?
Possibly. New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. We recommend checking with your local council first.
Is the survey free in Gateshead?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
