Roller shutters and security for Reading businesses
We carry out roller shutters and security in Reading and the surrounding parts of Berkshire, managing every trade from strip-out to a clean handover.
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.
How do we plan the job?
The survey for roller shutters and security in Reading covers measurements, service capacity, access for deliveries and any planning or building control points.
In and around Reading we are usually asked to work on cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants and shopping centre units and retail park stores.

- Open-mesh grilles for window display
- Electric motor with manual override
- Key switch or remote control
- Powder coating to match the shopfront

What should Reading owners check first?
- Your insurer may specify the security rating it wants.
- Electric shutters need safety edges or photocells to stop them closing on people.
- Externally fitted shutters often need planning permission, and some councils prefer internal grilles.
In England, fit-out work that affects fire escape, structure, drainage or accessibility falls under the Building Regulations and is signed off by local authority or approved inspector building control. Shopfronts, extraction flues and illuminated signs are dealt with separately by the local planning authority.
