Shop roller shutters in Slough
Slough is roughly 17 miles east of Reading.
Manual push-up and crank shutters still suit small frontages in Slough where there is no power at the box or the shutter only runs once a day.
If your shop in Slough is on a parade or in a conservation area, the look of the shutter matters as much as the security, so we talk through planning-friendly options such as perforated laths or a box behind the fascia.
We cover Slough and the SL1 postcode district as part of Berkshire; you book a survey here exactly as you would anywhere else. Neighbouring towns we cover include Windsor (2 miles away), Maidenhead and Gerrards Cross.

Rules that apply in Slough
In Slough, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- Fire exits: A shutter must not obstruct a fire exit while the premises are occupied. We discuss operating procedures and any interlocks with you.
- Planning: A new shutter on a shopfront usually needs planning permission, because it changes how the building looks; councils often prefer perforated shutters or internal grilles, and some areas have shopfront design guides. Listed buildings also need listed building consent.
- Powered shutters: Powered shutters are set up so their safety devices work, and should be maintained. Workplace rules expect powered doors to be safe in use.

Questions about shop roller shutters in Slough
Should I choose solid or perforated?
Solid gives the most privacy and weather protection. Perforated lets light out and allows window shopping out of hours, which many councils and landlords prefer.
Can you replace just the curtain?
Often, yes. If the box, barrel and guides are sound, a new curtain is cheaper than a complete shutter.
Is the survey free in Slough?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
Do you cover Slough?
Yes. Book a survey for any address in Slough in the usual way; it is covered as part of Berkshire.
