Not sure whether the issue is with the motor, controls, curtain, or manual operation? Our guide to manual vs electric shutter repair explains the common differences and when each type needs professional attention.
Different shutters solve different problems. The most appropriate option depends on the property, opening, frequency of operation and what needs protecting.
Solid steel shutters provide a closed curtain with no view into the premises. They may suit shops, pharmacies, stockrooms and other commercial openings where privacy and physical protection outside trading hours are priorities.
Guide strength, locking, motorised operation and any certified security requirement should be considered as part of the complete specification.
Insulated shutters use double-skin slats, often with an insulated core. They may help where weather exposure, heat transfer or operating noise is a concern.
They are commonly considered for workshops, garages, warehouses and loading areas rather than display-led shopfronts.
Perforated and punched shutters allow varying levels of visibility through the curtain. They are often considered for retail frontages where displays, signage or internal lighting need to remain partly visible after closing.
The amount of open area, curtain type and view through the shutter should be checked before selecting the design.
Garage shutters can suit homes, workshops, private parking areas and smaller commercial garages where the curtain needs to roll into a compact headbox.
The available drive-through opening, internal clearance, operation method and manual override should be considered before ordering.
Industrial roller shutters are intended for larger or more frequently used openings such as loading bays, factories, depots, workshops and warehouse access points.
Opening size, headroom, vehicle movement, operating frequency, controls and safety equipment need particular attention on these sites.
Not sure which option suits your business? Our guide to choosing the right roller shutter explains which shutter types work best for shops, restaurants, garages, warehouses, and high-security commercial premises.
A measured survey establishes whether the proposed system can fit and operate correctly around the existing opening.
The barrel, curtain and headbox require enough space above the opening. Guides and fixings also need suitable space on either side.
The curtain is selected around the required security, visibility, insulation and daily use. Solid, perforated, punched and insulated profiles serve different purposes.
A shutter used several times each day may require a different motor, controls and maintenance approach from one operated once at opening and closing.
For powered shutters, we consider the curtain size, expected use, power supply, control method and manual-override requirements.
The required safety devices depend on how the shutter operates, where the controls are positioned and how people or vehicles move around the opening.
The surrounding structure must provide suitable fixing points. Parking, working space, neighbouring premises and restrictions around the site can also affect installation.
Where suitable, a powder-coated finish can coordinate the shutter with the shopfront, signage or surrounding building.
Every solution is measured, designed, and built to suit your premises, layout, and customer flow.
We record the opening dimensions, available headroom, side room, fixing surfaces, access and any shopfront, door or signage that could affect the installation.
The shutter type is agreed around security, visibility, insulation and daily use. For electric systems, the motor, controls, safety devices and manual override are included in the specification. You then receive a written quotation setting out the proposed shutter and work included.
After installation, the curtain, guides, bottom rail, motor and controls are checked. We explain normal operation, manual override where provided and the relevant maintenance information for the installed system.
Regular servicing helps your shutter run smoothly, reduces breakdowns, and can support insurance, health and safety, and maintenance responsibilities. View our recent work completed across London and nearby areas.
On average, new roller shutter installations range from £800 to £4,500 depending on the opening size, material (steel or aluminium), and operation type.

The best shutter depends on the shop location, security risk, display needs, trading hours, and frontage design. Steel shutters suit high-security needs, perforated or punched shutters help maintain visibility, and insulated shutters are useful where noise or temperature control matters.
Electric roller shutters are usually better for larger openings or shutters used every day because they are easier to operate. Manual shutters can still work well for smaller openings or lower-use areas. The right choice depends on size, weight, budget, and daily use.
Yes. We install industrial roller shutters for warehouses, loading bays, factories, depots, workshops, and larger commercial openings where daily use, access, and security matter.
