What to know about steel roller shutters in Northumberland

Steel is the common choice for garages, lock-ups, plant rooms and loading bays. Steel curtains are heavier, so they are paired with stronger motors, springs or crank gearboxes. Steel shutters can be insulated with a double-skin lath where heat loss through the opening matters.

Galvanised finishes are practical but plain, so many shopfronts choose a powder-coated colour. 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
  • Stronger motors, springs and gearboxes
  • Powder coating available over galvanising
  • Deep guide rails and wind locks for wide openings
  • Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift
  • Manual, crank or electric operation

Covering Northumberland

We cover Northumberland from Blyth to Cramlington, Ashington and Morpeth, with 6 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 Northumberland

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.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
