What to know about security roller shutters in South Shields
Aluminium laths keep the curtain light and quiet, while galvanised steel adds weight and resistance for higher-risk premises. A powder-coated finish in a RAL colour lets the shutter match a shopfront or cladding instead of standing out in bare metal.
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.
Specification options
- Solid, perforated, punched or vision laths
- Key switch, remote control or timer operation
- Manual push-up, hand-crank or electric operation
- Powder coating to a RAL colour of your choice
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
- Safety edge or photocells where the risk assessment calls for them

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 South Shields
Do you cover South Shields?
Yes. South Shields (NE33) is within our Tyne and Wear coverage, along with nearby Tynemouth, North Shields and Jarrow.
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.
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.
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.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
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.
