Our door roller shutters service in Kirkwall
If you are building an extension in Kirkwall, tell us early: the shutter box is easiest to hide when it is planned before the lintel goes in.
Wide patio and bifold openings in Kirkwall may need a shutter split into two on a shared centre guide, depending on the span and the wind on that side of the house.
Island addresses, including Kirkwall (KW15), are covered by arrangement: we plan the crossing and book the survey and fitting days together, and any travel cost is quoted in advance.

Rules that apply in Kirkwall
As a Scottish town, Kirkwall follows the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 and the Scottish permitted development rules.
- 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.
- 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.
- Electrics: Wired to BS 7671 by a qualified electrician.

Questions about door roller shutters in Kirkwall
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.
Can it be opened from outside?
With a key switch, keypad or remote, yes. Without one, it can only be opened from inside, which suits back doors.
Is the survey free in Kirkwall?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Kirkwall are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
Do you cover Kirkwall?
Yes, by arrangement. Kirkwall is an island town, so visits are planned ahead around the crossing, and any travel cost is quoted in advance.
