Roller Shutters

Out-of-hours security without sacrificing kerb appeal

Home/Services/Roller Shutters
About this service

Roller Shutters — installed by specialists, not generalists

Roller shutters are the most cost-effective out-of-hours security system for any retail or commercial unit. The right shutter, properly installed, deters opportunist break-ins, defeats most ram-raid attempts, and protects against accidental damage during the trading day.

We fit shutters that match the asset value of what's inside — no overspecification, no underspecification. Jewellery shop and a sandwich bar don't need the same kit. We also fit them square, which sounds basic but you'd be surprised.

Frequently asked

Roller Shutters install — FAQs

How much does a roller shutter cost installed?
A standard 4m × 3m shopfront roller shutter typically runs £1,200 to £2,800 fitted, depending on lath type (insulated vs perforated vs grille), drive (single vs three-phase), and controls. Premium specs with remote handsets and BMS integration add £300–£600.
How long does shutter installation take?
Most retail shutter installs are completed in a single day. Lead time from quote acceptance to fitting is typically 2 weeks. Emergency shutter replacement (after damage) can usually be expedited within 5 working days.
Can roller shutters be installed without disrupting trading?
Yes. We routinely fit shutters out-of-hours — overnight or Sundays — with no premium charge. Our team are salaried, not hourly contractors, so out-of-hours doesn't cost us extra.
Do roller shutters need annual maintenance?
Yes — we recommend annual servicing to maintain warranty validity and ensure the shutter operates safely. We offer fixed-price annual service contracts covering inspection, lubrication, motor check, and minor adjustments.
