Our door roller shutters service in Christchurch
Christchurch sits some 4 miles to the east of Bournemouth.
Because a door shutter can cover an escape route, each one we fit in Christchurch has an inside control that works without a key, plus a manual override or battery backup.
For back doors, French doors and bifolds in Christchurch, the shutter is sized to the full frame so the curtain closes onto a level threshold or a bottom rail.
We survey and install across Dorset, and Christchurch is one of the towns covered. Our coverage around Christchurch also includes Bournemouth, New Milton and Poole.

Planning and safety in Christchurch
As an English town, Christchurch 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a door roller shutter cost?
A single door is usually £795–£1,195 including VAT, electric, supplied and fitted. Wider openings and doors with side lights cost more.
Can it be opened from outside?
With a key switch, keypad or remote, yes. Without one, it can only be opened from inside, which suits back doors.
Do I need permission for door roller shutters in Christchurch?
It depends on the property. External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. Check with your local council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
