Roller shutters and security across Ayrshire
Businesses across Ayrshire use us for roller shutters and security because one team manages the design, the trades and the sign-off. We regularly quote in Irvine, Largs, Ayr.
Shop roller shutters are steel or aluminium curtains that roll into a box above the shopfront, closed at night to protect the glass and stock. Perforated and grille types let light and window display show through.
Local projects in Ayrshire
In Ayrshire we mostly see cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants and high street units and corner shops. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
South West Scotland's towns rely on independent retailers and hospitality, with many shop units in traditional sandstone terraces.
What does the work include?
- Key switch or remote control
- Powder coating to match the shopfront
- Annual service options
- Solid, perforated or punched lath shutters
Planning and building control in Ayrshire
In Scotland, most fit-out work that alters the building needs a building warrant from the local authority before work starts, followed by a completion certificate. Planning permission and advertisement consent are separate, and Scottish councils publish their own shopfront design guidance.
- Electric shutters need safety edges or photocells to stop them closing on people.
- Externally fitted shutters often need planning permission, and some councils prefer internal grilles.
