How security roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Most commercial shutters are now electric, with a tube or direct-drive motor, a key switch and a manual override for power cuts. Aluminium laths keep the curtain light and quiet, while galvanised steel adds weight and resistance for higher-risk premises.
Electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and a handover pack, so you have the paperwork for your records and your insurer. Insulated double-skin laths reduce heat loss and noise through the opening, which helps unheated units and stock rooms.
What's included
- LPS 1175 rated options for higher-risk premises
- Manual push-up, hand-crank or electric operation
- Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks
- Powder coating to a RAL colour of your choice
- Safety edge or photocells where the risk assessment calls for them
- Solid, perforated, punched or vision laths

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.

Questions about security roller shutters in Bootle
Do you cover Bootle?
Yes. Bootle (L20) is within our Merseyside coverage, along with nearby Litherland, Wallasey and Maghull.
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.
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.
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.
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.
