What happens across Aberdeenshire and Moray?
Our teams cover Aberdeen, Elgin, Peterhead and Inverurie and the rest of Aberdeenshire and Moray. If your shop is in a conservation area or a listed building, tell us at the start, because it changes the options. Granite is the building material in Aberdeen and Peterhead, while Elgin and much of Moray are built of sandstone, and pale stone frontages show every badly matched frame.
What is worth knowing?
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.
Do I need a safety edge?
That depends on the risk assessment. Powered shutters near the public are assessed against BS EN 12453, and we quote what the result calls for.
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.
What are the guide prices?

Will this need planning permission across Aberdeenshire and Moray?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so your 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.
