How steel roller shutters work, and what to ask for
Steel curtains are heavier, so they are paired with stronger motors, springs or crank gearboxes. 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.
Deep steel guide rails and wind locks keep wide steel curtains in place in high winds. Steel is the common choice for garages, lock-ups, plant rooms and loading bays.
Specification options
- Deep guide rails and wind locks for wide openings
- Galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
- Manual, crank or electric operation
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift
- Insulated steel options
- Wicket doors on industrial doors

Covering Gloucestershire
We cover Gloucestershire from Gloucester to Cheltenham, Stroud and Kingswood, with 7 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 steel roller shutters in Gloucestershire
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.
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.
Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
