What to know about security roller shutters in Grampian
Insulated double-skin laths reduce heat loss and noise through the opening, which helps unheated units and stock rooms. The shutter box can sit outside the opening, behind a fascia or inside the building, which affects both appearance and planning. Every shutter is made to the measured opening, so the box, guides and curtain are sized for your frontage rather than cut from stock.
Most commercial shutters are now electric, with a tube or direct-drive motor, a key switch and a manual override for power cuts. Electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and a handover pack, so you have the paperwork for your records and your insurer.

- Manual push-up, hand-crank or electric operation
- Solid, perforated, punched or vision laths

Covering Grampian
We cover Grampian from Aberdeen to Elgin, Peterhead and Fraserburgh, 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Do your guide prices include VAT?
Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
