Security roller shutters in Kirkwall: the essentials
Where an insurer or police adviser asks for a tested product, rated shutters certified to LPS 1175 are available. Insulated double-skin laths reduce heat loss and noise through the opening, which helps unheated units and stock rooms.
Electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and a handover pack, so you have the paperwork for your records and your insurer. Every shutter is made to the measured opening, so the box, guides and curtain are sized for your frontage rather than cut from stock.
Options we can specify
- Bottom-rail locks, wind locks and anti-lift blocks
- Manual push-up, hand-crank or electric operation
- Solid, perforated, punched or vision laths
- Aluminium or galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
- Key switch, remote control or timer operation
- Manual override for power cuts on electric shutters

Rules in Scotland
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.

Security roller shutters: common questions
Do you cover Kirkwall?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair security roller shutters in Kirkwall and the KW15 district, as part of our coverage across Highlands & Islands.
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 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.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
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.
