How does it work across the Scottish Islands?
We work right across the Scottish Islands, including Stornoway, Kirkwall and Lerwick. Rules on frontages and shutters differ from one council to the next. Councils here include Eilean Siar, Orkney Islands and Shetland Islands. Stornoway, Kirkwall and Lerwick are the island centres, where exposure and shipping shape what can be fitted and when.

What makes the difference?
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.
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.
Can it have a shutter later?
Yes, but it is far neater to allow for one now. Tell us at survey, and we will leave height behind the fascia even if the shutter comes later.
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.
