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. 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. Insulated double-skin laths reduce heat loss and noise through the opening, which helps unheated units and stock rooms.
What's included
- Solid, perforated, punched or vision laths
- Safety edge or photocells where the risk assessment calls for them
- Manual override for power cuts on electric shutters
- External, behind-fascia or internal shutter box
- Powder coating to a RAL colour of your choice
- Key switch, remote control or timer operation

Covering Gwent
We cover Gwent from Newport to Cwmbran, Pontypool and Ebbw Vale, with 5 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in Wales, and we check the position at survey.
Rules in Wales
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In Wales an external shopfront shutter normally needs planning permission from your county or county borough council, or the national park authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Welsh councils' design guidance often prefers internal or open-pattern grilles to solid shutters, particularly in conservation areas.
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 Wales, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations as applied in Wales, so the work is self-certified by a registered electrician or notified to building control.

Security roller shutters: common questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
