Roller shutters and security contractors in Hawick
From the first measured survey to the day you open, our roller shutters and security work in Hawick 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.
What happens at the survey?
For Hawick jobs we confirm loading and parking arrangements early, because access often shapes the programme as much as the build itself.
In and around Hawick we are usually asked to work on pharmacies and healthcare premises and shopping centre units and retail park stores.
What is included?
- Solid, perforated or punched lath shutters
- Open-mesh grilles for window display
- Electric motor with manual override
- Key switch or remote control
- Powder coating to match the shopfront
What should Hawick 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.
