What can you expect across Argyll and Bute?
We work right across Argyll and Bute, including Helensburgh, Dunoon, Oban and Campbeltown. Rules on frontages and shutters differ from one council to the next. Argyll and Bute Council is the council to check with here. Oban, Dunoon and Helensburgh are small seafront and harbour towns, where salt air and exposure push the choice towards tough finishes.
What should you think about first?
Is the box accessible for servicing?
It has to be. We build in a removable panel so that an engineer can reach the motor, brake and spring parts.
Should I choose solid or perforated?
Solid gives more privacy and strength. Perforated keeps the window working at night. On the outside of a shop, some councils resist both, so check before you choose.
Can I phase the work?
Yes. If cash flow is tight, we can fit the frontage first and leave the box, guides and power ready for the shutter later.

Do you need consent across Argyll and Bute?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so your council 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.
