What to check in Gillingham before ordering
In Gillingham, 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.
- 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.
- Fire exits: A shutter must not obstruct a fire exit while the premises are occupied. We discuss operating procedures and any interlocks with you.

Shop roller shutters in Gillingham: questions
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.
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.
Do I need permission for shop roller shutters in Gillingham?
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.
Is the survey free in Gillingham?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
