Fitting steel roller shutters in Leicester
We survey and install across Leicestershire, and Leicester is one of the cities covered. Our coverage around Leicester also includes Oadby, Wigston and Loughborough.
High-cycle openings in Leicester, such as busy loading bays and forklift routes, are specified with the motor, controls and safety devices to match the traffic.

Frequently asked questions
Can steel shutters be painted?
They are best powder-coated in the factory; site painting rarely lasts on a moving curtain.
Will a steel shutter rust?
Galvanising protects the steel, and powder-coating adds another layer. Scratches and coastal air speed up corrosion, so regular cleaning helps.
How much do steel roller shutters cost in Leicester?
We use the same UK guide prices in Leicester; after the survey you get a fixed written price for your opening.
Do I need permission for steel roller shutters in Leicester?
New doors on industrial buildings can need planning permission if they change the elevation, and doors in fire compartment walls must suit the fire strategy. If you are unsure, ask your local council; we provide product details for any application.
