What to check in Crawley before ordering
As an English town, Crawley follows the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the permitted development rules in England.
- 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.

Questions about perforated roller shutters in Crawley
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 I need permission for perforated roller shutters in Crawley?
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.
Is the survey free in Crawley?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Crawley are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
