Shop shutters for properties in Hove
Hove sits some 1 mile to the west of Brighton.
Manual push-up and crank shutters still suit small frontages in Hove where there is no power at the box or the shutter only runs once a day.
If your shop in Hove 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.
If your address has a BN3 postcode, it falls within our East Sussex coverage. Brighton, Portslade and Burgess Hill are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.

Rules that apply in Hove
As an English town, Hove follows the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the permitted development rules in England.
- Planning: A new shutter on a shopfront usually needs planning permission, because it changes how the building looks; councils often prefer perforated shutters or internal grilles, and some areas have shopfront design guides. Listed buildings also need listed building consent.
- Fire exits: A shutter must not obstruct a fire exit while the premises are occupied. We discuss operating procedures and any interlocks with you.
- Powered shutters: Powered shutters are set up so their safety devices work, and should be maintained. Workplace rules expect powered doors to be safe in use.

Shop roller shutters in Hove: questions
How much does a shop shutter cost?
A typical single shopfront is £1,495–£2,795 plus VAT for an electric shutter, supplied and fitted. Manual shutters and smaller frontages cost less; wide frontages and premium finishes cost more.
Can you replace just the curtain?
Often, yes. If the box, barrel and guides are sound, a new curtain is cheaper than a complete shutter.
Do I need permission for shop roller shutters in Hove?
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.
Do you cover Hove?
Yes, we survey and fit in Hove (BN3) as part of our East Sussex coverage.
