Our electric roller shutters service in Edinburgh
Where a window in Edinburgh has no power nearby, a solar shutter avoids running a cable; where there is a socket or spur, a wired motor is simpler.
Window shutters are usually chosen for security when a house is empty, for blackout in bedrooms or for keeping summer heat off the glass, and the survey in Edinburgh starts with which of those matters most to you.
Surveys in Edinburgh and the surrounding area are arranged directly with you, as part of our coverage across Edinburgh & the Lothians. Dalkeith, Musselburgh and Kirkcaldy are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.

Can I control shutters from my phone?
Yes, with a compatible smart hub. You can open and close shutters from an app, set timers and scenes, and use voice assistants.

A good tubular motor commonly lasts many years in domestic use. If one fails it can be replaced without replacing the whole shutter.
