Shop roller shutters in Lerwick
Island addresses, including Lerwick (ZE1), are covered by arrangement: we plan the crossing and book the survey and fitting days together, and any travel cost is quoted in advance.
Manual push-up and crank shutters still suit small frontages in Lerwick where there is no power at the box or the shutter only runs once a day.
If your shop in Lerwick 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 Lerwick
In Lerwick, as elsewhere in Scotland, planning questions go to 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.
