Shutter replacement in Lerwick: the essentials
We price repair and replacement side by side when both are possible, so you can choose. New electric shutters are commissioned with safety checks and handover paperwork.
Replacing an external shutter with a different design may need planning permission, so it is checked first. A replacement can move the box behind the fascia for a tidier frontage where the structure allows.
Specification options
- Repair and replace priced side by side
- Upgrade to perforated, insulated or rated laths
- Commissioning and safety checks
- Box relocation where possible
- Manual to electric at the same time
- Removal of the old shutter

Rules in Scotland
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.

Will you take the old shutter away?

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.
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.
