Security roller shutters in Rochester: the essentials

Electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and a handover pack, so you have the paperwork for your records and your insurer. The shutter box can sit outside the opening, behind a fascia or inside the building, which affects both appearance and planning.

A powder-coated finish in a RAL colour lets the shutter match a shopfront or cladding instead of standing out in bare metal. Where an insurer or police adviser asks for a tested product, rated shutters certified to LPS 1175 are available.

Specification options

  • Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks
  • Safety edge or photocells where the risk assessment calls for them
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour of your choice
  • Key switch, remote control or timer operation
  • Solid, perforated, punched or vision laths
  • LPS 1175 rated options for higher-risk premises

Where we work around Rochester

Our engineers travel across Kent, including Rochester (ME1). We also cover nearby Chatham, Strood and Gillingham, so jobs at more than one site can be grouped into one visit.

Rules in England

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.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Security roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Rochester?

Yes. Rochester (ME1) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Chatham, Strood and Gillingham.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
