Rules that apply in Portsmouth
In Portsmouth, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- 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.
- 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.

Shop roller shutters in Portsmouth: questions
Should I choose solid or perforated?
Solid gives the most privacy and weather protection. Perforated lets light out and allows window shopping out of hours, which many councils and landlords prefer.
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.
Is the survey free in Portsmouth?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Portsmouth are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do you cover Portsmouth?
Yes, we survey and fit in Portsmouth (PO postcodes) as part of our Hampshire coverage.
