Window roller shutters in Montrose
Montrose is roughly 29 miles north-east of Dundee.
Window shutters are usually chosen for security when a house is empty, for blackout in bedrooms or for keeping summer heat off the glass, and the survey in Montrose starts with which of those matters most to you.
Each window in Montrose is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.

What to check in Montrose before ordering
Montrose is in Scotland, so planning decisions sit with your planning authority (the local council, or a national park authority).
- 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 Montrose
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.
Do window shutters need planning permission?
It depends on the house and the council. External shutters on a listed building need listed building consent, and conservation areas and some councils apply tighter controls. On many ordinary houses no application is needed, but check with your council before ordering; we supply drawings if you need to apply.
Is the survey free in Montrose?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Montrose are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
Do I need permission for window roller shutters in Montrose?
