Choosing roller shutter installation for premises in Bedfordshire
Every installation starts with a survey of the opening, structure, power supply and access. Most single shopfront and domestic shutters are fitted in a day. Guides and box are fixed into suitable structure; weak brickwork or timber is reinforced or bridged first.
Planning permission and listed building consent are checked before the shutter is ordered. The shutter is made to the survey measurements, so it fits the opening rather than being adapted on site.
Specification options
- Limits and safety device checks
- Planning checks before ordering

Covering Bedfordshire
We cover Bedfordshire from Luton to Bedford, Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard, with 5 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.
