Choosing roller shutter installation for premises in Edinburgh & the Lothians

The shutter is made to the survey measurements, so it fits the opening rather than being adapted on site. Powered shutters are handed over with user instructions, maintenance guidance and a declaration of conformity. Every installation starts with a survey of the opening, structure, power supply and access.

Most single shopfront and domestic shutters are fitted in a day. The fixed price is confirmed in writing before any work starts.

  • Made-to-measure manufacture

Covering Edinburgh & the Lothians

We cover Edinburgh & the Lothians from Edinburgh to Livingston, Musselburgh and Bathgate, 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.

Roller shutter installation: common questions

How long does installation take?

Most single shutters are fitted in a day once made. Large or multiple doors take longer and are scheduled with you.

What paperwork do I get?

Electric shutters are handed over with user instructions, maintenance guidance and a declaration of conformity, which are useful for your records and insurer.

What happens at the survey?

We measure the opening, check the structure, power supply, access and any planning constraints, and talk through the options. You then get a written fixed price.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

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

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
