Our door roller shutters service in Lerwick
Wide patio and bifold openings in Lerwick 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.
For back doors, French doors and bifolds in Lerwick, the shutter is sized to the full frame so the curtain closes onto a level threshold or a bottom rail.
We cover Lerwick by arrangement. Because travel involves a crossing, visits are planned ahead and any travel cost is set out in the quotation before you commit.

Rules that apply in Lerwick
In Lerwick, as elsewhere in Scotland, planning questions go to your planning authority (the local council, or a national park authority).
- 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.
- Electrics: Wired to BS 7671 by a qualified electrician.

Questions about door roller shutters in Lerwick
Will it fit round my door handle?
The shutter runs in front of the door frame, so handles, letterboxes and door canopies are measured at survey and the guides are set out to clear them.
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.
Is the survey free in Lerwick?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Lerwick are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do you cover Lerwick?
Yes, by arrangement. Lerwick is an island town, so visits are planned ahead around the crossing, and any travel cost is quoted in advance.
