How security roller shutters work, and what to ask for

Electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and a handover pack, so you have the paperwork for your records and your insurer. Most commercial shutters are now electric, with a tube or direct-drive motor, a key switch and a manual override for power cuts.

Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks stop the curtain being forced upwards or bowed out of its guides. Insulated double-skin laths reduce heat loss and noise through the opening, which helps unheated units and stock rooms.

What's included

  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
  • Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks
  • Manual override for power cuts on electric shutters
  • Solid, perforated, punched or vision laths
  • External, behind-fascia or internal shutter box
  • Safety edge or photocells where the risk assessment calls for them

Rules in England

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.

  3. Written fixed price

Before you book in Bedford

Do you cover Bedford?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair security roller shutters in Bedford and the MK40 district, as part of our coverage across Bedfordshire.

Should I choose aluminium or steel?

Aluminium is lighter, quieter and resists corrosion, so it suits most shops and offices. Galvanised steel is heavier and harder to cut through, so it is often chosen for industrial units and higher-risk premises.

Can a roller shutter be fitted inside the shop?

Yes. Internal shutters sit behind the glazing, which protects the stock and usually avoids external planning issues, although the glass itself is left exposed.

Will I need planning permission?

External shutters on commercial premises usually need planning permission, and listed buildings need listed building consent. We flag this at survey so you can apply before the shutter is ordered.

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.

Will you take away my old shutter?

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