Choosing security roller shutters for premises in Birkenhead
Electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and a handover pack, so you have the paperwork for your records and your insurer. Aluminium laths keep the curtain light and quiet, while galvanised steel adds weight and resistance for higher-risk premises.
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.
What's included
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
- Powder coating to a RAL colour of your choice
- Key switch, remote control or timer operation
- LPS 1175 rated options for higher-risk premises
- External, behind-fascia or internal shutter box
- Manual push-up, hand-crank or electric operation

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.

Security roller shutters: common questions
Do you cover Birkenhead?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Birkenhead. We also cover nearby Wallasey, Bebington and Bootle.
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.
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.
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.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
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.
