What should you think about first?
Which glass should go in?
Safety glass is needed in doors, side panels and low-level panes. Laminated glass is worth the extra if the street has a history of break-ins.
How do you deal with the threshold?
We aim for level or near-level access. New doors need thought about wheelchair and pushchair users, and we check the floor before we promise anything.
Will I get something in writing?
Yes. A service visit ends with a written condition report that you can keep for your landlord or insurer.
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?
Do you cover Stornoway?
Yes. Surveys here are by arrangement.
Which council handles planning in Stornoway?
Comhairle nan Eilean Siar. We tell you at survey whether your work needs consent.
Can you add a shutter to the new shopfront?
Yes, and it is best planned now. We can price the frontage and shutter as one job.
Does a new shopfront in Stornoway need planning permission?
A change to how the frontage looks usually does. Comhairle nan Eilean Siar is the council to check with, and we advise at survey.
