What we do
Roller shutters for Scotland's capital
Edinburgh is one of the most varied cities we work in. In a single week we might fit a discreet internal shutter behind a listed shopfront near the Royal Mile, replace a tired steel door on an industrial unit in Sighthill, and service a row of loading bay shutters out at Newbridge. Each job needs a different approach, and we plan every one around the building rather than the other way round.
Large parts of the city centre sit within the Old and New Towns World Heritage Site and its conservation areas, so the look of a shutter matters as much as its strength. We regularly help businesses on Princes Street, George Street, Victoria Street and Leith Walk choose options such as internal shutters, perforated laths or open lattice grilles that protect the premises while keeping the shopfront visible.
Every shutter is made to measure at our own premises in Hillington and fitted by our own engineers. Edinburgh is roughly an hour along the M8, so we schedule surveys, installations and servicing across the capital every week, and we can arrange emergency repairs when something goes wrong.

Why choose us
Why Edinburgh businesses use us
Experience with sensitive buildings
We understand why the City of Edinburgh Council takes a careful view of external shutters on historic streets, and we design options that are far more likely to be acceptable.
Made in our own workshop
Because we manufacture every shutter ourselves, we can match unusual opening sizes, colours and lath profiles that off the shelf doors cannot.
Regular visits to the capital
We work in Edinburgh every week, so surveys, servicing rounds and planned repairs fit easily into our schedule.

FAQs
Roller shutter questions from Edinburgh customers
Can I fit an external roller shutter to a shop in Edinburgh city centre?
It depends on the building and the street. Much of central Edinburgh is in a conservation area or the World Heritage Site, and many shops are listed. In these places the council generally prefers internal or open style security, and solid external shutters are often refused. Planning permission, and listed building consent where it applies, should always be checked with the City of Edinburgh Council before any work starts.
What is the best alternative to a solid shutter on a listed shopfront?
An internal roller shutter fitted behind the glass is usually the most discreet choice, because the shopfront looks unchanged from the street. Perforated or lattice shutters are another option where some visibility is needed. We can survey the shopfront and talk you through what is practical.
Do you cover industrial estates on the edge of Edinburgh?
Yes. We install and repair roller doors on industrial estates and business parks across the city and the surrounding Lothians, including units at Sighthill, South Gyle, Newbridge, Granton and Leith.
How quickly can you reach Edinburgh for an emergency?
Edinburgh is around an hour from our Hillington base by the M8, depending on traffic. Emergency repairs are available, and we will give you an honest arrival time when you call.
Will you repair a shutter that another company installed?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of manual and electric roller shutter, whoever fitted them originally.
Getting to Edinburgh
Emergency repairs and response times
Our workshop and engineers are based in Hillington, Glasgow, about 47 miles from Edinburgh along the M8. Emergency repairs are available in Edinburgh. How quickly we can be with you depends on engineer availability and the journey from Glasgow, which is usually around an hour. We will always give you an honest arrival time before we set off.
