Roller shutters and security in Hertfordshire
From Hertford to Hatfield, we deliver roller shutters and security for independent owners and multi-site operators across Hertfordshire, 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.
Working in Hertfordshire
Most enquiries we get from Hertfordshire come from cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants or shopping centre units and retail park stores, and the survey is where we pick up the details that change the price.
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?
- Annual service options
- Solid, perforated or punched lath shutters
- Open-mesh grilles for window display
- Electric motor with manual override
What approvals might you need in Hertfordshire?
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.
