Planning and safety in Thurso
As a Scottish town, Thurso 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.
- 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.

Door roller shutters in Thurso: questions
How much does a door roller shutter cost?
A single door is usually £795–£1,195 including VAT, electric, supplied and fitted. Wider openings and doors with side lights cost more.
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 Thurso?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
Do I need permission for door roller shutters in Thurso?
External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. If you are unsure, ask your council; we provide product details for any application.
