How security roller shutters work, and what to ask for

Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks stop the curtain being forced upwards or bowed out of its guides. Where an insurer or police adviser asks for a tested product, rated shutters certified to LPS 1175 are available.

Insulated double-skin laths reduce heat loss and noise through the opening, which helps unheated units and stock rooms. The shutter box can sit outside the opening, behind a fascia or inside the building, which affects both appearance and planning.

Options we can specify

  • Powder coating to a RAL colour of your choice
  • Safety edge or photocells where the risk assessment calls for them
  • Key switch, remote control or timer operation
  • Manual override for power cuts on electric shutters
  • External, behind-fascia or internal shutter box
  • 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.

Security roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Grays?

Yes. Grays (RM17) is within our Essex coverage, along with nearby South Ockendon, Gravesend and Dartford.

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.

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.

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.
