Choosing shutter replacement for premises in Glasgow & Dunbartonshire
A replacement can move the box behind the fascia for a tidier frontage where the structure allows. Replacing an external shutter with a different design may need planning permission, so it is checked first. Like-for-like replacements on existing fixings are usually quicker to fit than new installations.
If the box, barrel and guides are sound, fitting a new curtain can be much cheaper than replacing everything. A replacement is a chance to upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths.
Specification options
- Repair and replace priced side by side
- Manual to electric at the same time
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Removal of the old shutter
- Full strip-out and replacement

Covering Glasgow & Dunbartonshire
We cover Glasgow & Dunbartonshire from Glasgow to Bearsden, Clydebank and Bishopbriggs, 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.

Your questions answered
Is it worth upgrading when I replace?
It is the cheapest time to add electric operation, perforated laths or insulation, because the work is being done anyway.
Do I need planning permission to replace a shutter?
A like-for-like replacement often does not, but changing the design, colour or position of an external shutter may. We check with you before ordering.
Will you take the old shutter away?
Yes, removal and disposal of the old shutter is included in a full replacement quote.
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.
Do your guide prices include VAT?
