Made-to-measure solutions

New roller shutters designed for your premises

A roller shutter should suit the dimensions, usage, security expectations and practical layout of the opening. We assess the site before recommending a suitable shutter type, operating method and fitting arrangement.

Accurate site measurements

We assess the clear opening, available headroom, side room, fixing surfaces and obstructions before specifying a shutter.

Correct shutter specification

Curtain construction, guide arrangement, operating frequency and manual or powered operation are selected for the intended use.

Complete installation

We coordinate mounting, fixings, operating controls and required electrical or safety elements within the agreed scope.

Where we work

Roller shutter installation for commercial and industrial properties

From everyday retail access to larger operational openings, each installation is tailored to the building and its users.

Shops and retail units

Security shutters specified around shopfront geometry, customer-facing finishes and operational needs.

Warehouses and depots

Suitable openings for routine vehicle movements, goods access and loading operations.

Factories and workshops

Practical access, secure closure and operating controls matched to staff and equipment.

Schools and public buildings

Shutter selection and safe operating arrangements considered for the people using the site.

Commercial storage units

Secure, convenient access for stores, compounds and business premises.

Property managers and landlords

Coordinated installations and replacements across occupied and managed buildings.

Site and specification

What we assess before installing a shutter

An installation survey helps establish what is physically possible and what level of protection and convenience the new system needs to provide.

Opening and structure

Width, height, lintel space, side clearances and structural suitability for the fixing method.

Curtain and guides

Slat profile, guide depth, locking arrangements, finishes and required clear opening.

Operating frequency

How often the shutter will open, the expected duty cycle and whether manual operation is realistic.

Power and controls

Supply availability, local isolation, cables, control position and any external electrical work.

Safety and user access

Entrapment points, user groups, nearby pedestrians and the appropriate safety and operating features.

Appearance and environment

Colour, exposure, weather conditions and other site-specific considerations.

Electric shutter options

Electric roller shutter installation and operating controls

Powered shutters can offer practical access for larger or frequently used openings. Controls and protective measures must be chosen for the specific shutter and who will operate it.

Motor and drive selection

A suitable drive is specified for the shutter size, weight and anticipated usage.

Push-button and key-switch controls

Clearly positioned controls for authorised operation, including hold-to-run options where appropriate.

Remote operation

Wireless or other control methods may be possible where the installation and risk assessment support them.

Safety systems

Protective devices, control logic and testing are selected for the identified hazards.

Power failure procedures

Suitable emergency or manual operating arrangements are discussed during specification and handover.

User guidance

Operators are shown the correct procedures, limits of use and what to do if the shutter behaves abnormally.

Replacing existing shutters

Removal and replacement of old roller shutters

Where an existing shutter is beyond economical repair, no longer suitable or nearing the end of its service life, we can specify a replacement that addresses the weaknesses of the original installation.

Existing shutter assessment

We review the current arrangement, operating problems, opening dimensions and possible constraints.

Removal and disposal

Safe removal of the old shutter and responsible disposal can be included in the agreed quotation.

New mounting arrangement

Fixings, barrel, guides and curtain are installed to suit the new equipment and building.

Controls and safety updates

An updated operating system is specified where needed rather than blindly copying the previous installation.

Installation workflow

How our roller shutter installation process works

A clear process helps avoid surprises and ensures the finished shutter is suited to the intended application.

1. Discuss your requirements

Tell us the opening type, size if known, intended use, preferred operation and site access arrangements.

2. Survey and measurements

We assess dimensions, fixing surfaces, headroom, electrical arrangements and possible hazards.

3. Written quotation

The proposal identifies the shutter configuration, included work, agreed options and exclusions.

4. Delivery and installation

Our team removes existing equipment where agreed, fits the new shutter and connects the controls within the specified scope.

5. Testing and commissioning

Operation, limits, control functions and required protective measures are checked and recorded as applicable.

6. Handover

We explain normal use, emergency procedures, maintenance requirements and supply the relevant documentation.

Safe operation

Safety, compliance and commissioning

New powered roller shutters must be assessed and installed with suitable protective measures. Requirements depend on the product, intended use, site hazards and applicable legislation and standards. We do not treat a working motor alone as proof of a safe installation.

Risk-based safeguards

Crushing, drawing-in, impact and trapping risks are considered when selecting equipment and controls.

Correct commissioning

Controls, operating limits and protective functions are checked before the shutter is released for use.

Documentation and instructions

Relevant installation, operating and compliance information is provided as appropriate to the supplied system.

Future inspection

Routine checks and planned maintenance help identify deterioration and changes affecting safe operation.

Understanding the price

What affects roller shutter installation costs

The cost of a new roller shutter depends on the equipment and work required, not simply the opening width. We prepare a scope-led quote so you understand what is included.

Dimensions and construction

Opening size, slat material, finish, guides and required security specification.

Manual or electric operation

Motor, controls, power provision and suitable protective devices, where required.

Access and building works

Working-at-height access, structural fixing, removal, making good and electrical enabling work.

Installation complexity

Site access, lifting requirements, operating environment and required commissioning.

Maintenance planning

Looking after your new roller shutter

A newly installed shutter still requires appropriate inspections and maintenance. Usage levels, environment and manufacturer guidance determine the suitable schedule.

Routine visual checks

Look for bent curtain sections, damaged guides, unusual noises, loose components and poor travel.

Periodic inspection

Arrange competent inspection and maintenance suitable for the usage and the equipment.

Report changes promptly

Do not continue using a shutter that jams, moves unexpectedly or has defective protective devices.
