Shutters & security
Electric roller shutters
In short, electric roller shutters are motorised shutters with key-switch and remote control. Every job starts with a survey so the work is made to your opening, not a guess.
How it is made
Electric operation can be by key switch, remote or both, with a manual override for power cuts. Every installation is tested through its full travel and the safety features are checked at handover. Where anything is fitted to the outside of the building, we check whether planning consent is needed first.
Why SK Shopfronts
Multi-unit landlords, contractors and growing retailers use us because one contract covers the frontage, the security and the entrance. One programme, one point of contact, one set of O&M documents at handover.

Questions about electric roller shutters
Can you match the units either side?
On a parade where the landlord wants a consistent frontage, we work to the same section profile and colour reference so the unit reads as part of the row.
What do you need from me to quote?
The address, roughly what you want, and a photo of the current frontage. Opening sizes help but are not essential, because we measure at survey anyway.
How much does electric roller shutters cost near me?
Electric roller shutters start from around £1,450 plus VAT for a standard opening. The exact figure depends on the width, height, finish and access, and comes from a free site survey as a written, itemised quotation.
Do I need planning permission near me?
Like-for-like replacements usually do not. Changing the appearance of the frontage, fitting an external roller shutter or adding an illuminated sign usually needs consent from your local council. We tell you which applies at survey.
