How security roller shutters work, and what to ask for

Most commercial shutters are now electric, with a tube or direct-drive motor, a key switch and a manual override for power cuts. Perforated or punched laths let light and window displays show through while the shutter is down. The shutter box can sit outside the opening, behind a fascia or inside the building, which affects both appearance and planning.

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.

Options we can specify

  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
  • Safety edge or photocells where the risk assessment calls for them
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour of your choice
  • Manual push-up, hand-crank or electric operation
  • Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks
  • External, behind-fascia or internal shutter box

Covering Bristol

We cover Bristol from Bristol to the surrounding towns, with 1 town 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.

Your questions answered

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.

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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
