What to know about shop front shutters in Edinburgh

Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night. Hiding the shutter box behind the fascia keeps the frontage tidy, and is something many council design guides ask for.

Internal shutters behind the glazing protect stock without changing the street view, though they leave the glass exposed. A single curtain can cover the window and entrance together, or separate shutters can let you open the door while the window stays covered.

What's included

  • Designs chosen around local planning guidance
  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal
  • Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
  • Separate door and window shutters if needed
  • Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
  • Key switch and remote operation

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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Edinburgh?

Yes. Edinburgh (EH1) is within our Edinburgh & the Lothians coverage, along with nearby Musselburgh, Kirkcaldy and Dunfermline.

Do I need planning permission for a shop shutter?

In most cases yes. External shutters change the appearance of a shopfront, so councils usually require planning permission, and listed buildings also need listed building consent. Internal shutters often do not need planning permission but may still need consent on a listed building.

Can the shutter match my shopfront colour?

Yes. Shutters can be powder coated to a RAL colour, and the box and guides can be finished to match.

Can I keep my window display visible at night?

Yes. Perforated, punched or micro-perforated laths, or an open roller grille, let the display show through while the shopfront is secured.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
