Roller shutters and security in Thurso
From the first measured survey to the day you open, our roller shutters and security work in Thurso is planned around your lease, your landlord and your trading hours.
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.
How do we plan the job?
The survey for roller shutters and security in Thurso covers measurements, service capacity, access for deliveries and any planning or building control points.
In and around Thurso we are usually asked to work on convenience stores and off-licences and pharmacies and healthcare premises.
What is included?
- Powder coating to match the shopfront
- Annual service options
- Solid, perforated or punched lath shutters
- Open-mesh grilles for window display
- Electric motor with manual override
What should Thurso owners check first?
- 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.
- Your insurer may specify the security rating it wants.
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.
