Roller shutters and security
Electric roller shutters, grilles and security measures for shops.
Shop roller shutters are steel or aluminium curtains that roll into a box above the shopfront, closed at night to protect the glass and stock. Perforated and grille types let light and window display show through.
Why does it matter?
Break-ins and smashed glass cost more than shutters. We fit the right shutter for your area and insurer, with a motor, manual override and safety features.
What is included?
- Solid, perforated or punched lath shutters
- Open-mesh grilles for window display
- Electric motor with manual override
- Key switch or remote control
- Powder coating to match the shopfront
- Annual service options
What should you check before you start?
- Externally fitted shutters often need planning permission, and some councils prefer internal grilles.
- Your insurer may specify the security rating it wants.
- Electric shutters need safety edges or photocells to stop them closing on people.
How do we price it?
We survey the unit first, then give you an itemised, fixed price with a dated programme. The range above is a starting guide; your survey confirms the real figure, including access, services and any landlord or planning conditions.
Questions people ask
Do shop shutters need planning permission?
External shutters frequently do, especially solid ones. Perforated or internal grilles are more often accepted. We check with the council.
Can shutters be fitted behind the glass?
Yes, internal shutters and grilles sit behind the shopfront and are often preferred by planners.
What happens if there's a power cut?
Electric shutters have a manual override so you can open or close them without power.
