One of the most frequent questions we receive is: "How much do roller shutters cost?" It's a vital consideration for any property owner or business manager, but the answer isn't straightforward. The price of roller shutters and security shutters in the UK can vary significantly based on numerous factors.
Key Factors Influencing Roller Shutter Cost
Understanding the variables that impact the cost of roller shutters is essential for effective budgeting. Here are the primary considerations:
1. Type of Shutter & Application:
o Domestic/Garage Roller Doors: Generally the most affordable due to smaller sizes and lighter construction, often focused on convenience and home security.
o Commercial Roller Shutters: Prices increase for shopfronts, offices, and retail units, balancing security with aesthetics and operational frequency.
o Industrial Roller Doors: The highest investment, built for heavy-duty use, large openings, frequent cycles, and robust security in warehouses, factories, and distribution centres.
o Fire-Rated Shutters: These have specialist components and testing to meet strict fire safety regulations (BS EN 16034), making them a higher cost due to their critical function.
o Sliding/Side-Folding Shutters: Often bespoke solutions for curved or very wide openings, which can influence pricing.
2. Material:
o Aluminium Shutters: Lighter, corrosion-resistant, and versatile for various finishes.2 Generally a mid-range cost.
o Steel Shutters: Heavier, highly durable, and often used for maximum security or larger industrial applications.3 Can range from economical (galvanised) to higher-end (heavy-gauge).
o uPVC Shutters: Typically for lighter domestic use or internal applications, generally the most budget-friendly option.
3. Operation Method:
o Manual Roller Shutters: Operated by hand, crank, or spring-assisted. These are the most cost-effective in terms of initial purchase.
o Electric Roller Shutters (Motorised): Offer convenience with remote control, wall switches, or key switches.4 The motor type (single-phase vs. three-phase for higher usage) will affect the price. This option adds to the overall cost but provides significant operational benefits.
4. Size of the Opening:
o This is a fundamental driver of shutter pricing. Larger widths and heights require more material, heavier-duty components (motor, guides, box), and more complex installation.5
5. Security Level & Certification:
o While not a separate shutter type, opting for a security shutter with independent certification like LPS 1175 (SR1, SR2, SR3, etc.) will increase the cost. These shutters use stronger materials, reinforced guides, and more secure locking mechanisms to pass rigorous attack tests, reflecting their enhanced burglary resistance.
6. Finish & Customisation:
o Standard Finishes: Galvanised steel or basic powder-coated colours are typically included.
o Bespoke Colours/Finishes: Custom RAL colours or specialist finishes (e.g., wood grain effects, anodic grey for aluminium) will add to the price.
o Perforated or Punched Slats: These designs offer visibility but may slightly increase complexity and cost compared to solid slats.
7. Installation Complexity:
o Site Accessibility: Difficult access to the opening, working at height, or limited space will increase installation time and cost.6
o Structural Requirements: Any necessary structural modifications to the building to support the shutter will add to the overall project cost.
o Electrical Work: The cost of running power to the shutter motor if not already available.
