Shutters & security
Electric roller shutters
In short, electric roller shutters are motorised shutters with key-switch and remote control. Every job starts with a survey so the work is made to your opening, not a guess.
How it is made
The shutter box, guides and bottom rail are sized to the opening and fixed to sound structure. Insurers often specify a lock type or rating, so we confirm their wording before ordering. Finish and colour are chosen to suit the street as well as the level of security needed.
Our approach
Midlands Shopfronts covers the full frontage: the glazing, the entrance door, the fascia above it and the shutter that closes over it at night. Keeping it all with one team means one survey, one set of drawings and one person accountable when the job is signed off.
Options and specification
- Manual override for power cuts
- Safety edge and obstruction detection options
- Tubular motor inside the barrel
How much do electric roller shutters cost?
The entry price is about £1,450 plus VAT. The real figure comes from the survey measurements. Quotations stay valid for 90 days.
How long does it take?
Expect 2-3 weeks after survey for manufacture. The install itself rarely takes more than two days for a standard opening. If you cannot close, we can work outside trading hours.

Questions about electric roller shutters
Can you match the units either side?
On a parade where the landlord wants a consistent frontage, we work to the same section profile and colour reference so the unit reads as part of the row.
What do you need from me to quote?
The address, roughly what you want, and a photo of the current frontage. Opening sizes help but are not essential, because we measure at survey anyway.
How much does electric roller shutters cost near me?
Electric roller shutters start from around £1,450 plus VAT for a standard opening. The exact figure depends on the width, height, finish and access, and comes from a free site survey as a written, itemised quotation.
Do I need planning permission near me?
Like-for-like replacements usually do not. Changing the appearance of the frontage, fitting an external roller shutter or adding an illuminated sign usually needs consent from your local council. We tell you which applies at survey.
