What can you expect across Hertfordshire?
In Hertfordshire, the usual route is the same wherever you are: a measured survey, an itemised quotation, then fitting at a time that suits the shop. Towns we cover include Watford, Hemel Hempstead, Stevenage and St Albans. Watford, Stevenage and Hemel Hempstead have planned centres, with St Albans and Hitchin among the older towns.
What is worth knowing?
Is the box accessible for servicing?
It has to be. We build in a removable panel so that an engineer can reach the motor, brake and spring parts.
Will the colours really match?
Frame and shutter are powder coated to the same RAL reference. Coating on different materials can vary slightly, which we will show you on samples first.
Should I choose solid or perforated?
Solid gives more privacy and strength. Perforated keeps the window working at night. On the outside of a shop, some councils resist both, so check before you choose.

Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Do you need consent across Hertfordshire?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so your council will normally expect a planning application. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area. Listed buildings need listed building consent as well.
