Choosing security roller shutters for premises in Highlands & Islands

The shutter box can sit outside the opening, behind a fascia or inside the building, which affects both appearance and planning. Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks stop the curtain being forced upwards or bowed out of its guides. Perforated or punched laths let light and window displays show through while the shutter is down.

Aluminium laths keep the curtain light and quiet, while galvanised steel adds weight and resistance for higher-risk premises. Most commercial shutters are now electric, with a tube or direct-drive motor, a key switch and a manual override for power cuts.

Features to choose from

  • Aluminium or galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
  • Manual override for power cuts on electric shutters
  • Key switch, remote control or timer operation
  • Powder coating to a RAL colour of your choice
  • Manual push-up, hand-crank or electric operation
  • External, behind-fascia or internal shutter box

Covering Highlands & Islands

We cover Highlands & Islands from Inverness to Fort William, Kirkwall and Stornoway, with 6 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

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