Roller shutters and security in Lewes
We carry out roller shutters and security in Lewes and the surrounding parts of East Sussex, 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.

Shopfronts, extraction flues and illuminated signs are dealt with separately by the local planning authority.
