Heavy-duty security shutters protecting shopfronts, warehouses and industrial units.
What's included
Every security shutters project we facilitate is delivered by a vetted specialist with appropriate trade accreditations, insurance and references. The process is straightforward:
- Tell us about the property. Submit a quick brief — location, property type, dimensions if known.
- Free site survey. A specialist contacts you to arrange a no-obligation site visit.
- Quote & specification. You receive a detailed quote covering materials, finish, installation and aftercare.
- Installation. Professionally installed to industry standards, with warranty and servicing options.
Why specialist installation matters
Security Shutters sit at the boundary between security, weather-tightness and kerb appeal. Cutting corners on specification or installation tends to surface within twelve months — through misalignment, motor failure, water ingress or rapid corrosion. The specialists in our network are selected for the quality of their long-term work, not the speed of their quotes.
Typical applications
- Retail premises and high-street shops
- Restaurants, cafés and hospitality venues
- Warehouses and industrial units
- Offices and commercial buildings
- Listed buildings and conservation areas (where applicable)
Costs & pricing
Security Shutters pricing varies significantly with size, specification, finish and access complexity. For typical commercial premises, you can expect a quote that itemises materials, fabrication, installation, warranty period and any optional aftercare. For a detailed breakdown of typical price ranges across different specifications, see our shutters cost guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between roller and security shutters?
All security shutters are roller shutters, but not all roller shutters are security-rated. Security shutters use heavier-gauge lath (typically 22 gauge or thicker), reinforced end-locks, and Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) ratings (SR1–SR4) for insurance-grade physical security.
Will security shutters lower my insurance premium?
Often yes — most commercial insurers offer discounts for LPCB-rated shutters fitted by approved installers. Check with your broker before specifying; some require SR2 minimum, others SR3.
Can security shutters be alarmed?
Yes. Most installations integrate with the property's existing intruder alarm system, with sensors on the shutter itself to detect tampering, forced lifting or impact.
Are perforated shutters less secure?
Punched-lath shutters offer roughly 80% of the physical security of solid lath, with the trade-off of maintaining display visibility. For high-risk premises (jewellers, pharmacies) solid lath is preferred; for general retail, perforated is often the better commercial choice.
