Roller shutters and security for Forfar businesses
We carry out roller shutters and security in Forfar and the surrounding parts of Tayside, managing every trade from strip-out to a clean handover.
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 Forfar covers measurements, service capacity, access for deliveries and any planning or building control points.
In and around Forfar we are usually asked to work on showrooms and trade counters and high street units and corner shops.
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 Forfar owners check first?
- Your insurer may specify the security rating it wants.
- 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.
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.
