What to know about aluminium roller shutters in Bedfordshire
Foam-filled laths reduce noise and add a little insulation compared with single-skin metal. Perforated aluminium laths are available for frontages where the display needs to stay visible. Aluminium laths take powder coating well, so they can be finished in almost any RAL colour.
Aluminium is the usual choice for domestic shutters and garage roller doors. Aluminium does not rust, so it suits coastal towns and exposed frontages.
Specification options
- Roll-formed foam-filled or extruded aluminium laths
- No rust, suited to coastal and exposed sites
- Manual or electric operation
- Lighter curtain for less wear on motors and springs
- Powder coated to a RAL colour
- Solid, perforated or vision laths

Covering Bedfordshire
We cover Bedfordshire from Luton to Bedford, Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard, with 5 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.
Rules in England
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.
Electrical work
Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Before you book in Bedfordshire
Do aluminium shutters corrode by the sea?
Aluminium does not rust like steel, and a powder-coated finish adds protection, which makes it a good choice for coastal frontages.
Is aluminium strong enough for a shop?
For most shops and offices, yes, especially extruded aluminium laths. For high-risk premises, galvanised steel or a rated shutter may be recommended.
Will an aluminium shutter dent?
Foam-filled laths can dent under a heavy impact. Extruded aluminium resists denting far better, and damaged laths can be replaced individually.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
