Choosing security roller shutters for premises in Dunstable
Most commercial shutters are now electric, with a tube or direct-drive motor, a key switch and a manual override for power cuts. The shutter box can sit outside the opening, behind a fascia or inside the building, which affects both appearance and planning.
Where an insurer or police adviser asks for a tested product, rated shutters certified to LPS 1175 are available. Electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and a handover pack, so you have the paperwork for your records and your insurer.
Specification options
- Manual override for power cuts on electric shutters
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
- Powder coating to a RAL colour of your choice
- Solid, perforated, punched or vision laths
- LPS 1175 rated options for higher-risk premises
- Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks

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.

Before you book in Dunstable
Do you cover Dunstable?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair security roller shutters in Dunstable and the LU6 district, as part of our coverage across Bedfordshire.
How long does a roller shutter take to fit?
Most single shopfront shutters are fitted in a day once they have been made. Wider frontages, steel-framed openings or new power supplies can add time, and we confirm the installation day with your quote.
Do electric shutters still work in a power cut?
Electric shutters are fitted with a manual override, usually a hand crank or a release, so the shutter can be opened or closed without power.
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.
What details help you quote quickly?
The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
