Choosing steel roller shutters for premises in East Sussex
Steel curtains are heavier, so they are paired with stronger motors, springs or crank gearboxes. Steel is the common choice for garages, lock-ups, plant rooms and loading bays. Deep steel guide rails and wind locks keep wide steel curtains in place in high winds.
Galvanised steel laths are zinc coated to protect against rust, and can be powder coated on top. Galvanised finishes are practical but plain, so many shopfronts choose a powder-coated colour.
Features to choose from
- Galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
- Manual, crank or electric operation
- Stronger motors, springs and gearboxes
- Powder coating available over galvanising
- Insulated steel options
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift

Covering East Sussex
We cover East Sussex from Brighton to Eastbourne, Hastings and Hove, with 8 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 East Sussex
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.
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.
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.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
