Choosing security roller shutters for premises in Runcorn
The shutter box can sit outside the opening, behind a fascia or inside the building, which affects both appearance and planning. Electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and a handover pack, so you have the paperwork for your records and your insurer.
Every shutter is made to the measured opening, so the box, guides and curtain are sized for your frontage rather than cut from stock. Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks stop the curtain being forced upwards or bowed out of its guides.
Options we can specify
- Powder coating to a RAL colour of your choice
- Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks
- Solid, perforated, punched or vision laths
- LPS 1175 rated options for higher-risk premises
- Safety edge or photocells where the risk assessment calls for them
- External, behind-fascia or internal shutter box

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Runcorn?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Runcorn. We also cover nearby Widnes, Halewood and Huyton.
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.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
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.
