Roller shutters and security contractors in the West Midlands
From Birmingham to Coventry, we deliver roller shutters and security for independent owners and multi-site operators across the West Midlands, 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.
What is shopfitting like in the West Midlands?
In West Midlands we mostly see convenience stores and off-licences and showrooms and trade counters. 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?
- Solid, perforated or punched lath shutters
- Open-mesh grilles for window display
- Electric motor with manual override
- Key switch or remote control
Planning and building control in the West Midlands
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.
