What to know about electric roller shutters in Oban
Smart controllers can add app or timer control to many existing motors without replacing the shutter. Where people or vehicles pass under the curtain, a safety edge or photocells stop and reverse it if something is in the way.
Key switches are the most common control for shops because only a key holder can open the shutter from outside. Electric operation saves the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is a common reason for converting older shutters.
Features to choose from
- Key switch, wall switch, remote fob or timer control
- Powder coating to a RAL colour
- Safety edge and photocells where the risk assessment needs them
- Tubular, direct-drive or chain-drive motors sized to the curtain
- Fused spur connection by a qualified electrician
- Soft start and stop to reduce wear

Rules in Scotland
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In Scotland fitting an external security shutter to a shopfront normally needs planning permission from the council, and listed building consent if the building is listed. Councils often ask for the box to be concealed and for open or perforated designs rather than solid shutters in conservation areas.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Oban?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair electric roller shutters in Oban and the PA34 district, as part of our coverage across Argyll & Bute.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
Usually not. Most shutters run from a fused spur near the shutter box. If there is no supply nearby, a new circuit is quoted separately and done by a qualified electrician.
Are safety edges always needed?
Not always. It depends on the risk assessment: who uses the opening, whether people or vehicles pass under it, and how the shutter is controlled. Hold-to-run key switches on a shopfront often need less than an automatic industrial door.
Can I open the shutter with my phone?
Yes, many motors can be paired with a smart controller for app or timer control. Ask for it at survey and we will confirm whether your motor supports it.
Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
What details help you quote quickly?
The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
