On houses in Fraserburgh, the practical questions are where the box can sit, how the shutter will be powered and whether the window is an escape route; the survey answers all three.

What to check in Fraserburgh before ordering
As a Scottish town, Fraserburgh follows the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 and the Scottish permitted development rules.
- Planning: Whether external shutters on a house need permission depends on the property and the council. Listed buildings need consent for external alterations, and conservation areas often bring tighter rules, so check before ordering. We provide drawings and product details for an application.
- Ventilation: A closed shutter reduces airflow round trickle vents, so on rooms with gas appliances or poor ventilation we specify slotted laths or a part-open setting.
- Escape windows: If a shutter covers a window you would use to get out in a fire, it must open from inside without a key. We fit a manual override or battery backup on those openings.
- Electrics: Motors are wired to BS 7671 and the Scottish building standards for electrical safety.

Questions about window roller shutters in Fraserburgh
What happens in a power cut?
Mains motors stop where they are until power returns. If a window is needed for escape we fit a manual override or a battery-backed motor so it can still be opened.

Most standard windows come to £695–£995 including VAT for an electric aluminium shutter, supplied and fitted. Smaller windows and manual versions cost less; very wide or tall windows, recessed headboxes and special colours cost more. You get a fixed price after the survey.
