Choosing steel roller shutters for premises in Oxfordshire
Single-skin steel is noisier than insulated aluminium, which matters on mixed residential streets. 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.
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.
Specification options
- Manual, crank or electric operation
- Insulated steel options
- Wicket doors on industrial doors
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift
- Galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
- Stronger motors, springs and gearboxes

Covering Oxfordshire
We cover Oxfordshire from Oxford to Banbury, Abingdon and Bicester, 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.

Steel roller shutters: common questions
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.
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.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
