Roller grilles in Edinburgh & the Lothians: the essentials

Grilles can be combined with a solid section at the base for kick protection. Shopping centres often require roller grilles rather than solid shutters on unit fronts. Wide grilles use intermediate posts or a stronger curtain to resist being pushed in.

Aluminium grilles are lighter and suit large unit fronts; steel grilles add strength. An open curtain lets air and light through, so displays stay on view and the unit does not look closed down.

What's included

  • Suited to shopping centre unit fronts
  • Aluminium or steel curtains
  • Removable intermediate posts for wide units
  • Anodised or powder-coated finishes
  • Brick-bond, tubular or link lattice
  • Solid kick panel option

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

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.

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.

Questions about roller grilles in Edinburgh & the Lothians

Can things be passed through a grille?

Small items can pass through an open lattice. Polycarbonate infill panels close the gaps if that is a concern.

Can a grille cover a very wide unit?

Yes, with a stronger curtain or removable intermediate posts to keep it rigid.

Is a roller grille or a perforated shutter better?

A grille gives far more visibility and airflow, while a perforated shutter gives more privacy and weather protection. Shopping centres often specify grilles; high streets use both.

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.

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.
