What to know about steel roller shutters in Southend-on-Sea

Steel resists cutting and impact better than foam-filled aluminium, which suits higher-risk premises. Steel is the common choice for garages, lock-ups, plant rooms and loading bays.

Steel shutters can be insulated with a double-skin lath where heat loss through the opening matters. Single-skin steel is noisier than insulated aluminium, which matters on mixed residential streets.

Options we can specify

  • Galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
  • Insulated steel options
  • Deep guide rails and wind locks for wide openings
  • Powder coating available over galvanising
  • Stronger motors, springs and gearboxes
  • Manual, crank or electric operation

Rules in England

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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Before you book in Southend-on-Sea

Do you cover Southend-on-Sea?

Yes. Southend-on-Sea (SS1) is within our Essex coverage, along with nearby Rayleigh, Canvey Island and South Benfleet.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
