Roller shutters
Retractable and fixed grilles for shopfronts across the Midlands, from £1,150 plus VAT.
Free survey, no obligation.
A grille secures the opening while leaving the frontage visible, which suits units inside shopping centres where a solid curtain is not permitted. Retractable grilles fold back into the reveal during trading hours.
Work in a trading unit has to fit around trading. Where the frontage cannot be out of action during opening hours, installation is booked overnight or on a closed day and the premises left secure at every stage.
Lead time from approval of the drawings is typically three to four weeks, and we will tell you at survey if the section you want is on a longer run.
If you already have drawings or a specification, send those over and we will price directly from them.
For a like-for-like replacement, usually not. You will need consent for a listed building, in a conservation area, or where you change the appearance of the frontage or add illuminated signage. We can tell you which applies at survey, though the application itself is between you and the council.
Yes. Overnight and closed-day installation is normal for units that cannot lose a trading day, and the premises are left secure at every stage of the work.
Yes. Shopfront glass must be toughened or laminated and kitemarked in a critical location, so panes are ordered to the surveyed size — which means a same-day swap is rarely possible on anything large. Boarding secures the opening in the meantime.
Any RAL colour on aluminium and steel. Anthracite grey (RAL 7016) and black (RAL 9005) are the most common on high-street units, but the powder coater will match whatever your brand standard specifies.
On a parade where the landlord requires a consistent frontage, we work from the same section profiles and colour reference so the new unit reads as part of the row.
