Roller shutters and security contractors in Edinburgh
Owners opening or refreshing a unit in Edinburgh use our roller shutters and security service to get one contract, one programme and one point of contact.
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 Edinburgh covers measurements, service capacity, access for deliveries and any planning or building control points.
In and around Edinburgh we are usually asked to work on pharmacies and healthcare premises and salons, barbers and beauty clinics.
What is included?
- Open-mesh grilles for window display
- Electric motor with manual override
- Key switch or remote control
- Powder coating to match the shopfront
- Annual service options
What should Edinburgh owners check first?
- Externally fitted shutters often need planning permission, and some councils prefer internal grilles.
- Your insurer may specify the security rating it wants.
- Electric shutters need safety edges or photocells to stop them closing on people.
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.
