Our shop roller shutters service in Galashiels
We check the fascia, the box space and the power supply on every shopfront in Galashiels before quoting, so the fixed price reflects the real job.
For shops in Galashiels, the shutter is specified around how often it runs, how the frontage looks and what your landlord or council expects.
We cover Galashiels and the TD1 postcode district as part of Scottish Borders; you book a survey here exactly as you would anywhere else. Peebles, Dalkeith and Kelso are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.

Rules that apply in Galashiels
In Galashiels, as elsewhere in Scotland, planning questions go to your planning authority (the local council, or a national park authority).
- 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.
- 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.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need planning permission for a shop shutter?
Usually yes. A new external shutter on a shopfront changes how the building looks, so most councils expect an application, and some have shopfront design guides that prefer perforated shutters or internal grilles. We can supply drawings and product details.
Should I choose solid or perforated?
Solid gives the most privacy and weather protection. Perforated lets light out and allows window shopping out of hours, which many councils and landlords prefer.
