Roller shutters and security across Herefordshire
If you are opening, moving or refreshing a unit in Herefordshire, 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 Herefordshire
In Herefordshire we mostly see convenience stores and off-licences and pharmacies and healthcare premises. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
The West Midlands is home ground for us — we are based in Great Barr, Birmingham — and covers everything from city-centre units to Black Country high streets and shopping centres.
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 Herefordshire?
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.
- Externally fitted shutters often need planning permission, and some councils prefer internal grilles.
