Aluminium shutters for properties in Leicester
Because aluminium curtains are lighter, the motor and box can be smaller, which keeps shutters on houses in Leicester discreet.
Foam-filled aluminium laths keep house shutters in Leicester light and neat, while extruded aluminium suits shopfronts that need more strength.
We survey and install across Leicestershire, and Leicester is one of the cities covered. Other towns nearby that we cover include Oadby, Wigston and Loughborough.

Frequently asked questions
Are aluminium shutters strong enough for a shop?
Extruded aluminium shutters are very robust and suit many shops; very wide or high-risk openings may still be better in steel.
Do aluminium shutters fade?
Quality powder-coated and foiled finishes hold their colour well; darker colours in full sun can fade slowly over many years.
Do I need permission for aluminium roller shutters in Leicester?
New external shutters on shopfronts usually need planning permission; for houses it depends on the property, and listed buildings need consent. If you are unsure, ask your local council; we provide product details for any application.
Is the survey free in Leicester?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
