Steel roller shutters in Fife: the essentials
Steel is the common choice for garages, lock-ups, plant rooms and loading bays. Industrial steel doors can include a wicket door so people can enter without raising the whole curtain. Galvanised steel laths are zinc coated to protect against rust, and can be powder coated on top.
Deep steel guide rails and wind locks keep wide steel curtains in place in high winds. Steel resists cutting and impact better than foam-filled aluminium, which suits higher-risk premises.
Specification options
- Manual, crank or electric operation
- Insulated steel options
- Powder coating available over galvanising
- Deep guide rails and wind locks for wide openings
- Wicket doors on industrial doors
- Stronger motors, springs and gearboxes

Covering Fife
We cover Fife from Dunfermline to Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes, with 3 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.

Steel roller shutters: common questions
Will a steel shutter rust?
Galvanising protects the steel, and powder coating adds a further layer. Scratches and damage should be touched up so moisture cannot reach bare metal.
Can a steel shutter have a door in it?
Yes, industrial steel shutters can include a wicket door so people can enter without raising the whole curtain.
Is steel more secure than aluminium?
Generally yes. Steel laths are harder to cut and dent, which is why steel is used for industrial and higher-risk premises. For independently tested resistance, look for an LPS 1175 rating.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
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.
