Our door roller shutters service in Plymouth
If your address has a Plymouth postcode, it falls within our Devon coverage. We also cover Paignton, Newton Abbot and Bodmin, so premises in more than one of these places can be quoted together.
Because a door shutter can cover an escape route, each one we fit in Plymouth has an inside control that works without a key, plus a manual override or battery backup.
Wide patio and bifold openings in Plymouth may need a shutter split into two on a shared centre guide, depending on the span and the wind on that side of the house.

Rules that apply in Plymouth
As an English city, Plymouth follows the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the permitted development rules in England.
- Planning: Front-door shutters change how the house looks from the street, so check with your council first, especially in a conservation area or on a listed building.
- Electrics: Wired to BS 7671. Notifiable work in homes in England and Wales, such as a new circuit, is self-certified by a competent person scheme electrician or notified to building control.
- Getting out safely: A shutter over an exit door must open from inside quickly and without a key. We set the switch inside the door and add a manual override.

Frequently asked questions
Will it fit round my door handle?
The shutter runs in front of the door frame, so handles, letterboxes and door canopies are measured at survey and the guides are set out to clear them.
Are door shutters secure?
They add a strong physical layer in front of the door, especially with anti-lift locking. If you need a tested security rating, ask for a shutter certified to LPS 1175 or STS 202; the rating belongs to that tested product. PAS 24 applies to the door or window behind the shutter, not to the shutter itself.
Do I need permission for door roller shutters in Plymouth?
Possibly. External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. We recommend checking with your local council first.
Is the survey free in Plymouth?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Plymouth are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
