Our shop roller shutters service in Cowes
Cowes is an island town, so work there is arranged in advance around ferry travel, with surveys and installation scheduled together where possible and travel costs quoted up front.
If your shop in Cowes 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.
We check the fascia, the box space and the power supply on every shopfront in Cowes before quoting, so the fixed price reflects the real job.

What to check in Cowes before ordering
In Cowes, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- 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.
