What can you expect in Aberdeen?
Whether the unit is on the main shopping street or a local parade in Aberdeen, the job is measured the same way, and Aberdeen City Council is the council to check with.
What should you think about first?
What electrics are needed?
A power supply near the box, installed by a qualified electrician. We show the position on the drawing.
How long does a shutter last?
Curtains and guides can last many years with planned servicing. Motors, springs and locks go first, and a busy shop will wear them faster.
How is the shutter controlled?
By key switch, remote or both, and we specify a manual override for power cuts. Keep the override instructions somewhere that staff can find them.

Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so Aberdeen City Council will normally expect a planning application. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
