Choosing steel roller shutters for premises in Devon
Galvanised finishes are practical but plain, so many shopfronts choose a powder-coated colour. Steel resists cutting and impact better than foam-filled aluminium, which suits higher-risk premises. Deep steel guide rails and wind locks keep wide steel curtains in place in high winds.
Steel shutters are the usual base for fire-rated and many LPS 1175 rated shutters. Steel shutters can be insulated with a double-skin lath where heat loss through the opening matters.
Features to choose from
- Wicket doors on industrial doors
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift
- Deep guide rails and wind locks for wide openings
- Stronger motors, springs and gearboxes
- Insulated steel options
- Galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin

Covering Devon
We cover Devon from Plymouth to Exeter, Paignton and Torquay, with 9 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.

Steel roller shutters: common questions
Are steel shutters noisy?
Single-skin steel is noisier than insulated aluminium. If noise matters, insulated double-skin laths and a well-adjusted motor help.
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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
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.
