Choosing security roller shutters for premises in Ipswich
A powder-coated finish in a RAL colour lets the shutter match a shopfront or cladding instead of standing out in bare metal. Aluminium laths keep the curtain light and quiet, while galvanised steel adds weight and resistance for higher-risk premises.
Most commercial shutters are now electric, with a tube or direct-drive motor, a key switch and a manual override for power cuts. Every shutter is made to the measured opening, so the box, guides and curtain are sized for your frontage rather than cut from stock.
What's included
- Powder coating to a RAL colour of your choice
- Manual push-up, hand-crank or electric operation
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
- Manual override for power cuts on electric shutters
- Key switch, remote control or timer operation
- 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.

Questions about security roller shutters in Ipswich
Do you cover Ipswich?
Yes. Ipswich (IP1) is within our Suffolk coverage, along with nearby Harwich, Felixstowe and Stowmarket.
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.
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.
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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
