What to know about steel roller shutters in Gravesend
Steel is the common choice for garages, lock-ups, plant rooms and loading bays. Galvanised steel laths are zinc coated to protect against rust, and can be powder coated on top.
Steel curtains are heavier, so they are paired with stronger motors, springs or crank gearboxes. Steel resists cutting and impact better than foam-filled aluminium, which suits higher-risk premises.
Specification options
- Galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
- Wicket doors on industrial doors
- Deep guide rails and wind locks for wide openings
- Powder coating available over galvanising
- Stronger motors, springs and gearboxes
- Insulated steel options

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.

Steel roller shutters: common questions
Do you cover Gravesend?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Gravesend. We also cover nearby Grays, Strood and South Ockendon.
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.
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.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
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.
