Our roller grilles service in Kirkwall
Island addresses, including Kirkwall (KW15), are covered by arrangement: we plan the crossing and book the survey and fitting days together, and any travel cost is quoted in advance.
For shops in Kirkwall, the shutter is specified around how often it runs, how the frontage looks and what your landlord or council expects.
If your shop in Kirkwall 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.

Roller grilles in Kirkwall: questions
Can a grille go inside the shop?
Yes. Internal grilles behind the glass are common where planning or the landlord prefers the shopfront unchanged.
Are roller grilles secure?
They form a strong barrier against entry, but small items could be reached through the gaps, so they suit displays rather than open counters of small goods.
Do I need permission for roller grilles in Kirkwall?
Possibly. New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. We recommend checking with your council first.
How much do roller grilles cost in Kirkwall?
Typical prices are shown above. A survey at your property in Kirkwall confirms the specification and fixes the price.
