Choosing steel roller shutters for premises in Leicestershire
Galvanised steel laths are zinc coated to protect against rust, and can be powder coated on top. Industrial steel doors can include a wicket door so people can enter without raising the whole curtain. Steel shutters can be insulated with a double-skin lath where heat loss through the opening matters.
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.
Features to choose from
- Manual, crank or electric operation
- Wicket doors on industrial doors
- Stronger motors, springs and gearboxes
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift
- Insulated steel options
- Powder coating available over galvanising

Covering Leicestershire
We cover Leicestershire from Leicester to Loughborough, Hinckley and Coalville, 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.

Your questions answered
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 steel shutters noisy?
Single-skin steel is noisier than insulated aluminium. If noise matters, insulated double-skin laths and a well-adjusted motor help.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
