Roller shutters and security in Cambridgeshire
From Cambridge to Peterborough, we deliver roller shutters and security for independent owners and multi-site operators across Cambridgeshire, with fixed prices and a dated programme.
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.
Local projects in Cambridgeshire
In Cambridgeshire we mostly see shopping centre units and retail park stores and convenience stores and off-licences. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
The East of England mixes historic market towns with new town centres and retail parks, which means a shopfitter here is as likely to work on a listed frontage as on a modern shell unit.
What does the work include?
- Key switch or remote control
- Powder coating to match the shopfront
- Annual service options
- Solid, perforated or punched lath shutters
What approvals might you need in Cambridgeshire?
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.
- Your insurer may specify the security rating it wants.
- Electric shutters need safety edges or photocells to stop them closing on people.
