What to know about security roller shutters in Washington

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.

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.

What's included

  • Solid, perforated, punched or vision laths
  • Manual push-up, hand-crank or electric operation
  • External, behind-fascia or internal shutter box
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour of your choice
  • Manual override for power cuts on electric shutters
  • Safety edge or photocells where the risk assessment calls for them

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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Before you book in Washington

Do you cover Washington?

Yes. Washington (NE37) is within our Tyne and Wear coverage, along with nearby Chester-le-Street, Houghton-le-Spring and Hebburn.

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.

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.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.

Do you work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
