Choosing roller shutter installation for premises in Kent

Guides and box are fixed into suitable structure; weak brickwork or timber is reinforced or bridged first. Electric shutters are connected by a qualified electrician and commissioned with limits and safety checks. The shutter is made to the survey measurements, so it fits the opening rather than being adapted on site.

Powered shutters are handed over with user instructions, maintenance guidance and a declaration of conformity. Planning permission and listed building consent are checked before the shutter is ordered.

  • Electrical connection and commissioning
  • Survey of opening, structure and power
  • Planning checks before ordering
  • Limits and safety device checks

Covering Kent

We cover Kent from Maidstone to Gillingham, Chatham and Tunbridge Wells, with 23 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.

Questions about roller shutter installation in Kent

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.

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.

What happens at the survey?

We measure the opening, check the structure, power supply, access and any planning constraints, and talk through the options. You then get a written fixed price.

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.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
