What to check in Cardiff before ordering
As a Welsh city, Cardiff follows the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the Welsh permitted development rules.
- 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.

Frequently asked 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.
How much do shop roller shutters cost in Cardiff?
Typical prices are shown above. A survey at your property in Cardiff confirms the specification and fixes the price.
Is the survey free in Cardiff?
