Shop shutters for properties in Inverness
Whether your property is in the centre of Inverness or on its edges, it is included in our Highlands & Islands coverage. Neighbouring towns we cover include Nairn (13 miles away), Forres and Aviemore.
Perforated and grille shutters let passers-by in Inverness see the window display after hours, which many councils prefer on shopping streets.
Manual push-up and crank shutters still suit small frontages in Inverness where there is no power at the box or the shutter only runs once a day.

Rules that apply in Inverness
Inverness is in Scotland, so planning decisions sit with your planning authority (the local council, or a national park authority).
- Powered shutters: Powered shutters are set up so their safety devices work, and should be maintained. Workplace rules expect powered doors to be safe in use.
- Fire exits: A shutter must not obstruct a fire exit while the premises are occupied. We discuss operating procedures and any interlocks with you.
- Planning: A new shutter on a shopfront usually needs planning permission, because it changes how the building looks; councils often prefer perforated shutters or internal grilles, and some areas have shopfront design guides. Listed buildings also need listed building consent.

Questions about shop roller shutters in Inverness

Most single shopfront shutters are fitted in a day once made.
Can you replace just the curtain?
Often, yes. If the box, barrel and guides are sound, a new curtain is cheaper than a complete shutter.

Do I need permission for shop roller shutters in Inverness?
Possibly. New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. We recommend checking with your council first.
