Win more shutter installs, repairs and maintenance contracts.

Yes. We keep content about security ratings, fire resistance and safety accurate and free from exaggerated claims. Powered shutters are treated as machinery under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 in Great Britain, and ratings such as LPS 1175 or a fire resistance period only apply to products that are actually certified, so we only describe what your products and paperwork support.

We’re happy for you to review content before it goes live, so it reflects the shutters, testing and certificates you actually provide.

Yes. Facilities managers, landlords and retailers search differently from someone with a stuck shutter, so we build visibility for planned maintenance, fire shutter servicing and multi-site contracts, with content that explains what a service visit includes and what records you provide.

The Authority plan includes multi-location strategy, so each depot or service area can have its own optimised profile and visibility in its own area without competing with your other locations.

Tidying up your Google profile and listings can start helping within a few weeks, which matters most for urgent repair searches. Stronger map positions and AI recommendations usually take three to six months, depending on how many shutter firms compete in your area, and they tend to bring the bigger installation and maintenance work.

No. Your plan rolls on month to month, and you can cancel any time before the next billing date. The Google profile, listings and links we have built for your shutter company stay in place.

Shopfitters, builders, electricians, fire risk assessors, security installers and commercial letting agents all come across shutters that need fitting, repairing or servicing. Building relationships with them can bring steady referrals, and good work on one parade of shops often leads to calls from the neighbours.

Facilities management companies and multi-site retailers often subcontract shutter work locally. Being easy to work with — quick quotes, clear reports and reliable attendance — is how small companies earn a place on their supplier lists.

Membership of the Door and Hardware Federation (DHF) and DHF safety training for your engineers are widely recognised, including its Level 3 award for fire resisting roller shutter doors. It’s also worth showing manufacturer approved installer status, LPS 1175 certified products if you supply them, public liability insurance, and the force testing and paperwork you provide with powered shutters.

Often, yes. Many councils treat an external shutter as a material change to the appearance of a building, so it normally needs planning permission, and listed buildings and conservation areas get closer scrutiny. Internal shutters usually don’t. Rules and design preferences vary by council, so advise customers to check locally before you fit.

Exact prices are difficult because every opening, motor and security level is different, but guide information — such as your call-out charge, typical repair costs or “domestic window shutters from” — helps customers budget and filters out enquiries that go nowhere. Make clear that a survey gives a firm quote.
