Security roller shutters in Wallsend: the essentials
The shutter box can sit outside the opening, behind a fascia or inside the building, which affects both appearance and planning. 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. Where an insurer or police adviser asks for a tested product, rated shutters certified to LPS 1175 are available.
Specification options
- External, behind-fascia or internal shutter box
- Manual push-up, hand-crank or electric operation
- Manual override for power cuts on electric shutters
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
- Powder coating to a RAL colour of your choice
- Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks

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 Wallsend
Do you cover Wallsend?
Yes. Wallsend (NE28) is within our Tyne and Wear coverage, along with nearby Hebburn, Jarrow and Gateshead.
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.
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.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
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.
