How security roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Perforated or punched laths let light and window displays show through while the shutter is down. Most commercial shutters are now electric, with a tube or direct-drive motor, a key switch and a manual override for power cuts.
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.
Features to choose from
- Manual override for power cuts on electric shutters
- Powder coating to a RAL colour of your choice
- External, behind-fascia or internal shutter box
- Safety edge or photocells where the risk assessment calls for them
- Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks
- 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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Canterbury?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair security roller shutters in Canterbury and the CT1 district, as part of our coverage across Kent.
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.
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.
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.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
