Choosing security roller shutters for premises in West Midlands

Aluminium laths keep the curtain light and quiet, while galvanised steel adds weight and resistance for higher-risk premises. Electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and a handover pack, so you have the paperwork for your records and your insurer. Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks stop the curtain being forced upwards or bowed out of its guides.

Where an insurer or police adviser asks for a tested product, rated shutters certified to LPS 1175 are available. A powder-coated finish in a RAL colour lets the shutter match a shopfront or cladding instead of standing out in bare metal.

Specification options

  • Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks
  • Manual push-up, hand-crank or electric operation
  • Safety edge or photocells where the risk assessment calls for them
  • Manual override for power cuts on electric shutters
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
  • LPS 1175 rated options for higher-risk premises

Covering West Midlands

We cover West Midlands from Birmingham to Coventry, Wolverhampton and Dudley, with 20 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

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.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

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.
