Our window roller shutters service in Aviemore
Whether your property is in the centre of Aviemore or on its edges, it is included in our Highlands & Islands coverage. Nairn, Inverness and Forres are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.
For reference, Aviemore lies about 25 miles south-east of Inverness.
Each window in Aviemore is measured to the real opening, including the lintel, render beads and cill, which is why the survey comes before any price is fixed.
You do not have to do every window at once: in Aviemore we can fit the ground-floor windows first and match the colour and box on others later.

Rules that apply in Aviemore
As a Scottish town, Aviemore follows the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 and the Scottish permitted development rules.
- Electrics: Motors are wired to BS 7671 and the Scottish building standards for electrical safety.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Frequently asked questions
How much do window roller shutters cost?
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.
Will a shutter stop me opening my window?
No. The shutter runs outside the window, so you can still open casements when it is raised. Inward-opening tilt-and-turn windows can also be opened with the shutter down.
Do I need permission for window roller shutters in Aviemore?
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.
Is the survey free in Aviemore?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Aviemore are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
