Questions about roller shutter replacement in Lerwick
Can I replace just the shutter curtain?
Yes, if the box, barrel and guides are sound. It is often the cheapest way to fix a shutter with corroded or damaged laths.
Do I need planning permission to replace a shutter?
Like-for-like replacements usually do not, but changing type, colour or position on a shopfront may. Check with your council.
Do I need permission for roller shutter replacement in Lerwick?
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. If you are unsure, ask your council; we provide product details for any application.

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