How does it work in Stornoway?
Working in Stornoway means working with Comhairle nan Eilean Siar on planning, and sometimes with a landlord on the lease. We flag both early, so that neither one holds up your opening date.
What should you check before you decide?
Can the shutter match my frontage?
Yes. Curtain, box and guides are powder coated to a RAL colour to match your frame as closely as the finish allows.
Steel or aluminium laths?
Steel is stronger and heavier. Aluminium is lighter and quieter, which helps under flats. Most shops are well served by either.
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.
What should you budget?
| Opening width | Typical unit | Guide price plus VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 3 m | A typical single shop unit | £1,450 to £1,995 |
| 3 to 4 m | A wider single unit | £1,895 to £2,595 |
| 4 to 5 m | A double-fronted or corner unit | £2,395 to £3,195 |
| 5 to 6 m | A large double unit | £2,895 to £3,995 |
Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Do you need consent in Stornoway?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so Comhairle nan Eilean Siar 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.
What do people ask about electric roller shutters in Stornoway?
How soon can you fit an electric roller shutter in Stornoway?
Lead time is confirmed on your quotation. We agree the fitting day with you.
Do I need planning permission for a shutter in Stornoway?
An external shutter usually needs it, and Comhairle nan Eilean Siar decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too.

Yes, including HS1 and HS2.
Do electric shutters work in a power cut?
Yes, by hand, if a manual override is fitted. We specify one on new electric shutters.
