Planning and safety in Stornoway
In Stornoway, as elsewhere in Scotland, planning questions go to your planning authority (the local council, or a national park authority).
- 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.
- 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.

Questions about door roller shutters in Stornoway
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.
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.
Is the survey free in Stornoway?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Stornoway are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
Do you cover Stornoway?
Yes, by arrangement. Stornoway is an island town, so visits are planned ahead around the crossing, and any travel cost is quoted in advance.
