What to check in Galashiels before ordering
As a Scottish town, Galashiels follows the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 and the Scottish permitted development rules.
- Planning: Solar shutters look much the same as mains shutters from outside, so the same planning advice applies.
- Orientation: We check daylight on the panel at survey; heavily shaded openings may need a remote panel or mains power.

Questions about solar roller shutters in Galashiels
How long does the battery last?
Batteries are a replaceable part and typically last several years in normal use. Replacement does not mean replacing the shutter.
Do solar shutters work in winter?
Yes. The panel charges in daylight, not just sunshine, and a full battery runs the shutter for many cycles. Very shaded spots are assessed at survey.
Do you cover Galashiels?
Yes, we survey and fit in Galashiels (TD1) as part of our Scottish Borders coverage.
Do I need permission for solar roller shutters in Galashiels?
External shutters on listed buildings need listed building consent, and conservation areas often have tighter rules. If you are unsure, ask your council; we provide product details for any application.
