What to know about garage roller doors in Edinburgh & the Lothians
Insulated aluminium laths help garages used as workshops, gyms or utility spaces stay warmer. Remote fobs are standard on most electric garage doors, with wall switches and app control as options. Domestic garage doors are covered by the same powered door safety standard as commercial doors.
The box needs a little headroom inside the garage, which is checked at survey. Safety edges and obstacle detection stop the door on contact, which matters where children or pets are around.
Options we can specify
- Safety edge and obstacle detection
- Remote fobs, wall switch and app options
- Replaces up-and-over doors
- Colour and woodgrain finishes
- Manual override for power cuts
- Insulated foam-filled aluminium laths

Covering Edinburgh & the Lothians
We cover Edinburgh & the Lothians from Edinburgh to Livingston, Musselburgh and Bathgate, with 4 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in Scotland, and we check the position at survey.
Rules in Scotland
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.
Electrical work
Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In Scotland electrical work in buildings must also meet the Scottish building standards, and is carried out and certified by a qualified electrician.
Shutters on a house: planning
In Scotland permitted development rules for houses are set by the Scottish Government. Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas restrict external changes, so check with your council before ordering if any of these apply.

Questions about garage roller doors in Edinburgh & the Lothians
Are roller garage doors insulated?
Most are, with foam-filled aluminium laths. They are not as thermally efficient as a wall, but they make a real difference to a garage used as a workspace.
How much headroom does a roller garage door need?
The box needs some space above the opening inside or outside the garage. Exact clearance depends on the door height and curtain, so we measure it at survey.
What safety features do garage roller doors have?
Electric doors should stop and reverse on contact, using a safety edge or obstacle detection, and have a manual override for power cuts.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
