What to know about security roller shutters in Atherton

Aluminium laths keep the curtain light and quiet, while galvanised steel adds weight and resistance for higher-risk premises. Insulated double-skin laths reduce heat loss and noise through the opening, which helps unheated units and stock rooms.

Where an insurer or police adviser asks for a tested product, rated shutters certified to LPS 1175 are available. 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

  • Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks
  • External, behind-fascia or internal shutter box
  • Solid, perforated, punched or vision laths
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
  • Manual push-up, hand-crank or electric operation
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour of your choice

Rules in England

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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Atherton?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Atherton. We also cover nearby Tyldesley, Westhoughton and Leigh.

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.

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.

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.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
