Door roller shutters in Dumfries
Dumfries is part of our Dumfries & Galloway coverage, and addresses in the DG1 postcode district are covered in the same way as the rest of Dumfries & Galloway. Annan, Castle Douglas and Hawick are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.
The box over a door in Dumfries can be face-fixed, tucked under a soffit or built into an extension, and the survey shows which is possible.
If you are building an extension in Dumfries, tell us early: the shutter box is easiest to hide when it is planned before the lintel goes in.

Planning and safety in Dumfries
In Dumfries, as elsewhere in Scotland, planning questions go to your planning authority (the local council, or a national park authority).
- Electrics: Wired to BS 7671 by a qualified electrician.
- Getting out safely: A shutter over an exit door must open from inside quickly and without a key. We set the switch inside the door and add a manual override.
- Planning: Front-door shutters change how the house looks from the street, so check with your council first, especially in a conservation area or on a listed building.

Frequently asked questions
Are door shutters secure?
They add a strong physical layer in front of the door, especially with anti-lift locking. If you need a tested security rating, ask for a shutter certified to LPS 1175 or STS 202; the rating belongs to that tested product. PAS 24 applies to the door or window behind the shutter, not to the shutter itself.
Can I get out if the door shutter is down?
Yes. The control is inside, and we fit a manual override so the shutter can be raised by hand if the power is off. We will not fit a shutter over your only exit that needs a key from inside.
Do you cover Dumfries?
Yes. Book a survey for any address in Dumfries in the usual way; it is covered as part of Dumfries & Galloway.
Is the survey free in Dumfries?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Dumfries are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
