How security roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Where an insurer or police adviser asks for a tested product, rated shutters certified to LPS 1175 are available. Insulated double-skin laths reduce heat loss and noise through the opening, which helps unheated units and stock rooms.
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.
Options we can specify
- Key switch, remote control or timer operation
- Manual push-up, hand-crank or electric operation
- Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks
- Safety edge or photocells where the risk assessment calls for them
- Manual override for power cuts on electric shutters
- 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 Lancaster?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Lancaster. We also cover nearby Morecambe, Fleetwood and Thornton-Cleveleys.
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.
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.
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.
Do you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
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.
