Newtownards shopfront and unit shutters
Access on the A20 / A21 keeps emergency attendance to a Newtownards unit tight.
Solid lath for maximum barrier, punched vision lath where the display must stay readable, brick-bond grille for shopping frontages.
Facilities managers in Newtownards come to us for testing and documentation as much as for the shutter itself.
Shutters into Newtownards run 3-5 weeks (made to opening) because every curtain is made to the opening.
Shutter specification for a Newtownards unit
Ards Business Park is a regular planned-maintenance round for our team. It's why a templated quote for Newtownards usually misses something.
Most of the commercial work we do around Newtownards lands inside Ards Business Park and Jubilee Road Industrial. We're on a first-name basis with most of the facilities teams.
Newtownards sits 11 mi from Belfast and 25 mi from our Dromore yard via the A20 / A21.

Newtownards shutter FAQ
Q.Do fire shutters need testing?
Yes. A fire shutter should be tested and its operation documented on a scheduled basis, and we include that in maintenance contracts across Newtownards.
Q.Will an insurer accept the shutter we fit?
Bring us the wording. We specify the curtain, guides and locking to the level the policy names, which is usually where a cheap shutter falls short.
Q.What is the lead time for a Newtownards unit?
3-5 weeks (made to opening), since curtains, boxes and guides are made to the actual opening. Emergency boarding and temporary security can be arranged sooner.
Q.What happens after an attempted break-in?
We attend, secure the opening, then quote repair or curtain replacement. Damaged laths can often be swapped individually rather than replacing the whole curtain.
Q.Are they electrically operated?
Most are, with a key switch or internal control, plus a manual override for power failure. Small openings can be manual with a spring balance.
Q.Do you service shutters you did not install?
Yes, across Newtownards and the wider BT23 area, including planned maintenance visits on multi-site estates.
