What happens across Argyll and Bute?
Our teams cover Helensburgh, Dunoon, Oban and Campbeltown and the rest of Argyll and Bute. If your shop is in a conservation area or a listed building, tell us at the start, because it changes the options. Oban, Dunoon and Helensburgh are small seafront and harbour towns, where salt air and exposure push the choice towards tough finishes.
What makes the difference?
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.
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.

Do you need consent across Argyll and Bute?
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.
