What happens across the Scottish Borders?
We work right across the Scottish Borders, including Hawick, Galashiels, Peebles and Kelso. Rules on frontages and shutters differ from one council to the next. Scottish Borders Council is the council to check with here. Hawick, Galashiels, Kelso and Peebles are stone textile and market towns.

What should you think about first?
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.
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.
Should the stallriser stay?
A stallriser protects the bottom of the glass from kicks, trolleys and cleaning water. On older streets it is also part of the look.
Will this need planning permission across the Scottish Borders?
Usually yes, if the look of the frontage changes. Replacing like for like may not need permission, but your council has the final say. 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 about bi-fold shopfronts across the Scottish Borders?
How soon can you fit a bi-fold shopfront across the Scottish Borders?
Lead time is confirmed on your quotation. We book the fitting days around your trading.
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 across the Scottish Borders need planning permission?
A change to how the frontage looks usually does. Your council is the council to check with, and we advise at survey.
Do bi-fold shopfronts work on a busy street?
Yes, as long as the panels fold inwards or sit clear of the pavement.
