How security roller shutters work, and what to ask for

The shutter box can sit outside the opening, behind a fascia or inside the building, which affects both appearance and planning. Most commercial shutters are now electric, with a tube or direct-drive motor, a key switch and a manual override for power cuts. Insulated double-skin laths reduce heat loss and noise through the opening, which helps unheated units and stock rooms.

Perforated or punched laths let light and window displays show through while the shutter is down. Electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and a handover pack, so you have the paperwork for your records and your insurer.

Options we can specify

  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
  • External, behind-fascia or internal shutter box
  • Safety edge or photocells where the risk assessment calls for them
  • Solid, perforated, punched or vision laths
  • Key switch, remote control or timer operation
  • LPS 1175 rated options for higher-risk premises

Covering Hertfordshire

We cover Hertfordshire from Watford to Hemel Hempstead, Stevenage and St Albans, with 18 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.

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.

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 England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Your questions answered

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 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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
