What to know about shop front shutters in Renfrewshire & Inverclyde

Your insurer may specify a minimum standard for out-of-hours protection, so it is worth checking your policy schedule before ordering. A powder-coated colour that matches the shopfront helps the shutter look like part of the design rather than an add-on. Perforated and punched laths are popular on high streets because the window display stays visible when the shop is closed.

Internal shutters behind the glazing protect stock without changing the street view, though they leave the glass exposed. Graffiti-resistant coatings and perforated laths can reduce the blank 'dead frontage' look that solid shutters create at night.

Features to choose from

  • Designs chosen around local planning guidance
  • Anti-lift and bottom-rail locks
  • Solid, perforated, punched or open-grille curtains
  • Key switch and remote operation
  • Box external, behind the fascia or internal
  • Powder coating to match your shopfront

Covering Renfrewshire & Inverclyde

We cover Renfrewshire & Inverclyde from Paisley to Greenock, Newton Mearns and Renfrew, 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.

Before you book in Renfrewshire & Inverclyde

Which shutter is most likely to get planning approval?

Councils commonly prefer internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs, and boxes hidden behind the fascia. Solid external shutters are often refused in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

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.

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.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.

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.
