ROLLER SHUTTER SERVICES IN ESSEX

In short, yes roller shutters are great for security. It certainly takes a lot of effort to break into roller shutters, which would either require severe use of force, or cutting with tools - all of which would make a lot of noise and attract a lot of attention. This is why roller shutters are generally a strong deterrent for most thieves or opportunist burglars.

There are several options for the operation of your roller shutters. The cheapest and most basic are manual roller shutters that open and close by hand. The most popular are automatic roller shutters that work using electric motors and are typically accessed by remote control. We can let you know what options are available at the time of enquiry.

We supply roller shutters in a range of colours and can provide a colour chart to help you choose.

Roller shutters roll up into a head plate, and the size of this will depend on how tall the door is. The taller the door, the more head room required. In general a roller shutter garage door requires around 30cm head space - which is easily possible in most circumstances.

Roller shutters are not alarmed as standard, but can be linked to alarm systems using sensors, the same as any door or window in a property.

Basic electric roller shutters run on a simple but reliable motor which will only cost from around £90. This will enable simple button operated electric shutters. The cost will increase for remote control units and we will be happy to discuss options at time of enquiry.

Roller shutter doors use a locking springs mechanism that will stop anyone being able to pull the door up from the outside. They do not require a key directly to remain solid, though some clients take the extra measure of using a robust padlock to further secure the door to the ground.

As stated above, roller shutters can last a long time if maintained well. Fortunately they do not require a lot of maintenance and are relatively simple in the way that they operate.

We recommend annual maintenance as standard and can provide this service at a low cost, but it will also depend on how much you use your roller shutter - where intensive daily opening and closing doors will be more likely to experience difficulties quicker that those that are only opened once a day - such as shop front shutters.

In addition to this, it is important for business owners to be aware of health & safety legislation and workplace regulations that requires records of maintenance for doors such as this. See this link for more information - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1992/3004/regulation/18/made
