Choosing security roller shutters for premises in Northumberland
Electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and a handover pack, so you have the paperwork for your records and your insurer. Where an insurer or police adviser asks for a tested product, rated shutters certified to LPS 1175 are available. Every shutter is made to the measured opening, so the box, guides and curtain are sized for your frontage rather than cut from stock.
Aluminium laths keep the curtain light and quiet, while galvanised steel adds weight and resistance for higher-risk premises. The shutter box can sit outside the opening, behind a fascia or inside the building, which affects both appearance and planning.
Features to choose from
- Safety edge or photocells where the risk assessment calls for them
- Solid, perforated, punched or vision laths
- LPS 1175 rated options for higher-risk premises
- Manual override for power cuts on electric shutters
- Powder coating to a RAL colour of your choice
- Key switch, remote control or timer operation

Covering Northumberland
We cover Northumberland from Blyth to Cramlington, Ashington and Morpeth, with 6 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.
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.
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.
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.

Your questions answered
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.
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.
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 you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
