Roller shutters and security across Kent
From Maidstone to Canterbury, we deliver roller shutters and security for independent owners and multi-site operators across Kent, 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 Kent
Typical Kent jobs for this service involve cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants, as well as salons, barbers and beauty clinics. We check the lease, access and service capacity before pricing.
Across the South East, market towns with conservation areas sit next to large retail parks, so shopfront design often needs to satisfy planners on the high street while retail park units follow the landlord's specification.
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 Kent?
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.
- Your insurer may specify the security rating it wants.
