Whether your property is in the centre of Oban or on its edges, it is included in our Dunbartonshire & Argyll coverage. Fort William, Dunoon and Helensburgh are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.
Oban sits some 49 miles to the north-west of Dumbarton.
We check the fascia, the box space and the power supply on every shopfront in Oban before quoting, so the fixed price reflects the real job.
If your shop in Oban is on a parade or in a conservation area, the look of the shutter matters as much as the security, so we talk through planning-friendly options such as perforated laths or a box behind the fascia.

Rules that apply in Oban
Oban is in Scotland, so planning decisions sit with your planning authority (the local council, or a national park authority).
- Planning: A perforated shutter is often the type councils will accept on a shopfront, but an application is usually still needed.
- Weather: Perforations let some wind and rain through, so think about the glazing behind and draughts in exposed spots.

Questions about perforated roller shutters in Oban
Why do councils prefer perforated shutters?
They keep shopping streets looking lit and active after hours rather than lined with blank steel, which many shopfront design guides encourage.
Can I see into the shop through a perforated shutter?
Yes, especially when the shop is lit. Punched vision laths give a clearer view.
Is the survey free in Oban?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Oban are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do I need permission for perforated roller shutters in Oban?
New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. If you are unsure, ask your council; we provide product details for any application.
