Shutter replacement in Highlands & Islands: the essentials

If the box, barrel and guides are sound, fitting a new curtain can be much cheaper than replacing everything. New electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and handover paperwork. We price repair and replacement side by side when both are possible, so you can choose.

A replacement is a chance to upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths. Replacing an external shutter with a different design may need planning permission, so it is checked first.

Features to choose from

  • Repair and replace priced side by side
  • Commissioning and safety checks
  • Replacement curtain on existing box and guides
  • Manual to electric at the same time
  • Upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths
  • Box relocation where possible

Covering Highlands & Islands

We cover Highlands & Islands from Inverness to Fort William, Kirkwall and Stornoway, with 6 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

Can I keep my shutter box and just replace the curtain?

Often yes, if the box, barrel and guides are sound. We inspect them and price both options.

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.

Will you take the old shutter away?

Yes, removal and disposal of the old shutter is included in a full replacement quote.

Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
