Frequently asked questions
How long from survey to installation?
Usually three to five weeks for made-to-measure shutters; repairs and stocked parts are quicker.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new installations. Repair visits are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do I need permission for roller shutter installation in Kirkwall?
It depends on the property. Like-for-like replacements do not usually need permission, but a new external shutter or a change of type or position can, especially on shopfronts and listed buildings. Check with your council before ordering; we can supply drawings.

Yes, by arrangement. Kirkwall is an island town, so visits are planned ahead around the crossing, and any travel cost is quoted in advance.
