What to know about steel roller shutters in Greater London

Steel resists cutting and impact better than foam-filled aluminium, which suits higher-risk premises. Steel shutters can be insulated with a double-skin lath where heat loss through the opening matters. Steel curtains are heavier, so they are paired with stronger motors, springs or crank gearboxes.

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.

Options we can specify

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

Covering Greater London

We cover Greater London from central London to Islington, Westminster and Bexley, with 81 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 Greater London

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.

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.

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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
