What happens 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 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.
What does one drawing change?
Everything lines up: door head, guide channels, fascia, sign fixing and power supply. It also gives your council or landlord one clear document to look at.
What happens to my old frontage?
If the job is a replacement, removal and disposal are priced on the quotation, and we aim to leave the unit secure or boarded overnight.
Will this need planning permission across the Scottish Islands?
Probably, if it is external. Your council decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too. 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 shopfronts with concealed shutters across the Scottish Islands?
Can you fit a package around my trading hours across the Scottish Islands?
Yes. Closed-day or out-of-hours fitting can be arranged.
Who decides planning for a frontage across the Scottish Islands?
Your council is the planning authority. We tell you at survey what is likely to need consent.
How long does a package take across the Scottish Islands?

Can an engineer still reach a hidden shutter?
Yes, if it is designed properly. We fit a removable panel, because safety parts have to be reachable for servicing.
