What to know about aluminium roller shutters in Thamesmead

A lighter curtain puts less strain on the motor, springs and barrel, which helps the shutter last. Perforated aluminium laths are available for frontages where the display needs to stay visible.

Aluminium curtains roll up tighter than steel, so the shutter box can often be smaller. Extruded aluminium laths are solid profiles that are stronger and more resistant to forced entry than roll-formed laths.

Specification options

  • Lighter curtain for less wear on motors and springs
  • Manual or electric operation
  • Quieter running than steel
  • Roll-formed foam-filled or extruded aluminium laths
  • No rust, suited to coastal and exposed sites
  • Powder coated to a RAL colour

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.

Aluminium roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Thamesmead?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair aluminium roller shutters in Thamesmead and the SE28 district, as part of our coverage across Greater London.

What is the difference between roll-formed and extruded aluminium?

Roll-formed laths are two thin skins with a foam core, which is light and insulating. Extruded laths are solid profiles, which are heavier and much stronger.

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.

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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
