What to know about security roller shutters in St Albans
Aluminium laths keep the curtain light and quiet, while galvanised steel adds weight and resistance for higher-risk premises. Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks stop the curtain being forced upwards or bowed out of its guides.
Every shutter is made to the measured opening, so the box, guides and curtain are sized for your frontage rather than cut from stock. A powder-coated finish in a RAL colour lets the shutter match a shopfront or cladding instead of standing out in bare metal.
Options we can specify
- External, behind-fascia or internal shutter box
- Key switch, remote control or timer operation
- Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks
- Powder coating to a RAL colour of your choice
- 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.

Security roller shutters: common questions
Do you cover St Albans?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair security roller shutters in St Albans and the AL1 district, as part of our coverage across Hertfordshire.
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 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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
