Steel shutters for properties in Ipswich
Where several doors on one site in Ipswich need work, they can be surveyed together and put on a single maintenance schedule afterwards.
For warehouses, depots and workshops in and around Ipswich, the door is sized to the opening, the wind on that elevation and the number of cycles a day.
If your address has an IP1 postcode, it falls within our Suffolk coverage. Harwich, Felixstowe and Stowmarket are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.

Frequently asked questions
Can steel shutters be painted?
They are best powder-coated in the factory; site painting rarely lasts on a moving curtain.
Is steel or aluminium better?
Steel is stronger for the money and suits big openings; aluminium is lighter, corrosion-resistant and neater, and suits homes, shops and coastal sites.
Do I need permission for steel roller shutters in Ipswich?
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.
