Security roller shutters in Rutland: the essentials
Insulated double-skin laths reduce heat loss and noise through the opening, which helps unheated units and stock rooms. Aluminium laths keep the curtain light and quiet, while galvanised steel adds weight and resistance for higher-risk premises. Where an insurer or police adviser asks for a tested product, rated shutters certified to LPS 1175 are available.
Perforated or punched laths let light and window displays show through while the shutter is down. Every shutter is made to the measured opening, so the box, guides and curtain are sized for your frontage rather than cut from stock.
Options we can specify
- LPS 1175 rated options for higher-risk premises
- Safety edge or photocells where the risk assessment calls for them
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
- Key switch, remote control or timer operation
- Manual push-up, hand-crank or electric operation
- External, behind-fascia or internal shutter box

Covering Rutland
We cover Rutland from Oakham to Uppingham, with 2 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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
