How roller shutter installation works, and what to ask for

Access equipment, road or pavement licences and out-of-hours fitting are arranged where needed. Electric shutters are connected by a qualified electrician and commissioned with limits and safety checks. Most single shopfront and domestic shutters are fitted in a day.

The shutter is made to the survey measurements, so it fits the opening rather than being adapted on site. Planning permission and listed building consent are checked before the shutter is ordered.

Specification options

  • Survey of opening, structure and power
  • Fixing into suitable structure
  • Limits and safety device checks
  • Handover pack and keys
  • Made-to-measure manufacture

Covering Essex

We cover Essex from Southend-on-Sea to Basildon, Colchester and Chelmsford, with 22 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.

Before you book in Essex

What paperwork do I get?

Electric shutters are handed over with user instructions, maintenance guidance and a declaration of conformity, which are useful for your records and insurer.

How long does installation take?

Most single shutters are fitted in a day once made. Large or multiple doors take longer and are scheduled with you.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close.

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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
