Fitting door roller shutters in Gloucester
Gloucester is part of our Gloucestershire coverage, and addresses in the GL1 postcode district are covered in the same way as the rest of Gloucestershire. Cheltenham, Stroud and Tewkesbury are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.
Because a door shutter can cover an escape route, each one we fit in Gloucester has an inside control that works without a key, plus a manual override or battery backup.
If you are building an extension in Gloucester, tell us early: the shutter box is easiest to hide when it is planned before the lintel goes in.

Planning and safety in Gloucester
In Gloucester, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- 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.

Questions about door roller shutters in Gloucester
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.
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.
How much do door roller shutters cost in Gloucester?
Typical prices are shown above. A survey at your property in Gloucester confirms the specification and fixes the price.
