Fitting shop roller shutters in Hereford
Surveys in Hereford and the surrounding area are arranged directly with you, as part of our coverage across Herefordshire. Our coverage around Hereford also includes Ledbury, Leominster and Ross-on-Wye.
If your shop in Hereford 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.
Manual push-up and crank shutters still suit small frontages in Hereford where there is no power at the box or the shutter only runs once a day.

Planning and safety in Hereford
Hereford is in England, so planning decisions sit with your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- 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.
- Fire exits: A shutter must not obstruct a fire exit while the premises are occupied. We discuss operating procedures and any interlocks with you.

Often, yes. If the box, barrel and guides are sound, a new curtain is cheaper than a complete shutter.
