What to know about security roller shutters in Argyll & Bute

A powder-coated finish in a RAL colour lets the shutter match a shopfront or cladding instead of standing out in bare metal. Every shutter is made to the measured opening, so the box, guides and curtain are sized for your frontage rather than cut from stock. Where an insurer or police adviser asks for a tested product, rated shutters certified to LPS 1175 are available.

Most commercial shutters are now electric, with a tube or direct-drive motor, a key switch and a manual override for power cuts. Insulated double-skin laths reduce heat loss and noise through the opening, which helps unheated units and stock rooms.

Options we can specify

  • Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks
  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
  • Manual push-up, hand-crank or electric operation
  • Manual override for power cuts on electric shutters
  • LPS 1175 rated options for higher-risk premises
  • External, behind-fascia or internal shutter box

Covering Argyll & Bute

We cover Argyll & Bute from Helensburgh to Oban and Dunoon, with 3 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.

Security roller shutters: common questions

How long does a roller shutter take to fit?

Most single shopfront shutters are fitted in a day once they have been made. Wider frontages, steel-framed openings or new power supplies can add time, and we confirm the installation day with your quote.

Should I choose aluminium or steel?

Aluminium is lighter, quieter and resists corrosion, so it suits most shops and offices. Galvanised steel is heavier and harder to cut through, so it is often chosen for industrial units and higher-risk premises.

Will I need planning permission?

External shutters on commercial premises usually need planning permission, and listed buildings need listed building consent. We flag this at survey so you can apply before the shutter is ordered.

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 warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
