Steel roller shutters in Ampthill: the essentials

Steel shutters are the usual base for fire-rated and many LPS 1175 rated shutters. Single-skin steel is noisier than insulated aluminium, which matters on mixed residential streets.

Industrial steel doors can include a wicket door so people can enter without raising the whole curtain. Galvanised finishes are practical but plain, so many shopfronts choose a powder-coated colour.

Options we can specify

  • Powder coating available over galvanising
  • Insulated steel options
  • Stronger motors, springs and gearboxes
  • Manual, crank or electric operation
  • Wicket doors on industrial doors
  • Deep guide rails and wind locks for wide openings

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.

Questions about steel roller shutters in Ampthill

Do you cover Ampthill?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Ampthill. We also cover nearby Bedford, Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard.

Will a steel shutter rust?

Galvanising protects the steel, and powder coating adds a further layer. Scratches and damage should be touched up so moisture cannot reach bare metal.

Can a steel shutter have a door in it?

Yes, industrial steel shutters can include a wicket door so people can enter without raising the whole curtain.

Is steel more secure than aluminium?

Generally yes. Steel laths are harder to cut and dent, which is why steel is used for industrial and higher-risk premises. For independently tested resistance, look for an LPS 1175 rating.

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.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
