What to know about security roller shutters in Chester-le-Street
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.
Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks stop the curtain being forced upwards or bowed out of its guides. The shutter box can sit outside the opening, behind a fascia or inside the building, which affects both appearance and planning.
Features to choose from
- Manual push-up, hand-crank or electric operation
- External, behind-fascia or internal shutter box
- Key switch, remote control or timer operation
- Solid, perforated, punched or vision laths
- Safety edge or photocells where the risk assessment calls for them
- LPS 1175 rated options for higher-risk premises

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.

Questions about security roller shutters in Chester-le-Street
Do you cover Chester-le-Street?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Chester-le-Street. We also cover nearby Washington, Houghton-le-Spring and Stanley.
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.
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.
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.
Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
