Roller shutters and security in Devon
If you are opening, moving or refreshing a unit in Devon, our roller shutters and security service covers the layout, the build and the paperwork, with work planned around your trading hours.
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 Devon
Most enquiries we get from Devon come from salons, barbers and beauty clinics or high street units and corner shops, and the survey is where we pick up the details that change the price.
South West high streets rely heavily on independent and seasonal trade, especially in coastal towns, so fit-outs are often scheduled to finish before the spring and summer season.
What does the work include?
- Powder coating to match the shopfront
- Annual service options
- Solid, perforated or punched lath shutters
- Open-mesh grilles for window display
What approvals might you need in Devon?
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.
- 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.
