Security roller shutters in Watford: the essentials
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.
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.
Features to choose from
- Manual push-up, hand-crank or electric operation
- Manual override for power cuts on electric shutters
- Safety edge or photocells where the risk assessment calls for them
- LPS 1175 rated options for higher-risk premises
- Key switch, remote control or timer operation
- Solid, perforated, punched or vision laths

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.

Before you book in Watford
Do you cover Watford?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Watford. We also cover nearby Bushey, Rickmansworth and Borehamwood.
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.
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.
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.
Do your guide prices include VAT?
Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
