How security roller shutters work, and what to ask for

Every shutter is made to the measured opening, so the box, guides and curtain are sized for your frontage rather than cut from stock. 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. The shutter box can sit outside the opening, behind a fascia or inside the building, which affects both appearance and planning.

What's included

  • External, behind-fascia or internal shutter box
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour of your choice
  • Key switch, remote control or timer operation
  • Solid, perforated, punched or vision laths
  • 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.

How it works

  1. Tell us about the opening

    Send the postcode, a rough size and a photo if you have one, using the form or a call.

  2. Free survey

    We measure, check the structure, power supply and planning position, and talk through options.

  3. Written fixed price

    You get a written quote with the product, finish, controls and price before anything is ordered.

  4. Made, fitted and handed over

    The shutter is made to measure, fitted, commissioned and handed over with its documents.

Security roller shutters: common questions

Do you cover Leicester?

Yes. Leicester (LE1) is within our Leicestershire coverage, along with nearby Oadby, Wigston and Loughborough.

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.

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.

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.
