How does it work across the Scottish Islands?
In the Scottish Islands, the usual route is the same wherever you are: a measured survey, an itemised quotation, then fitting at a time that suits the shop. Towns we cover include Stornoway, Kirkwall and Lerwick. Stornoway, Kirkwall and Lerwick are the island centres, where exposure and shipping shape what can be fitted and when.
What makes the difference?
How is the frontage measured?
We measure the structural opening, not the old frame. Lintel condition, floor level and how square the opening is all get recorded at survey.
What about the fascia and sign?
We set out the fascia at the same time, so your sign fixings and any shutter box do not clash. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area.
What does the written quotation show?
Every item: frame, glass, doors, stallriser, strip-out and any electrics. It stays valid for 90 days, and nothing is ordered until you accept.
What are the guide prices?
| Opening width | Typical unit | Guide price plus VAT |

Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Will this need planning permission across the Scottish Islands?
It depends on how much changes. A new layout, new materials or a moved door usually needs permission from your council. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
