What happens across the Highlands?
Our teams cover Inverness, Fort William, Nairn and Thurso and the rest of the Highlands. If your shop is in a conservation area or a listed building, tell us at the start, because it changes the options. Inverness is the main centre, with Fort William, Thurso and Wick serving huge areas in demanding weather.
What should you check before you decide?
Why plan the frontage and shutter together?
Because the shutter box needs a home. Plan it with the fascia and it disappears. Add it later and it usually ends up on the face of the building.
How does a joint install save trading time?
The frontage and shutter go in as one sequence, so you close once. With two contractors, you close twice and hope they agree on who damaged what.
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.

Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Do you need consent across the Highlands?
An external shutter normally needs planning permission from your council. An internal shutter or grille often does not, so it is worth checking before you order. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
