Choosing security roller shutters for premises in Fife

Insulated double-skin laths reduce heat loss and noise through the opening, which helps unheated units and stock rooms. Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks stop the curtain being forced upwards or bowed out of its guides. Electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and a handover pack, so you have the paperwork for your records and your insurer.

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.

Specification options

  • Key switch, remote control or timer operation
  • Solid, perforated, punched or vision laths
  • Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks
  • LPS 1175 rated options for higher-risk premises
  • Manual override for power cuts on electric shutters
  • Safety edge or photocells where the risk assessment calls for them

Covering Fife

We cover Fife from Dunfermline to Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes, 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.

Your questions answered

Can a roller shutter be fitted inside the shop?

Yes. Internal shutters sit behind the glazing, which protects the stock and usually avoids external planning issues, although the glass itself is left exposed.

Do electric shutters still work in a power cut?

Electric shutters are fitted with a manual override, usually a hand crank or a release, so the shutter can be opened or closed without power.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.

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.
