How does it work in Perth?
Working in Perth means working with Perth and Kinross Council on planning, and sometimes with a landlord on the lease. We flag both early, so that neither one holds up your opening date.
What is worth knowing?
How is the shutter controlled?
By key switch, remote or both, and we specify a manual override for power cuts. Keep the override instructions somewhere that staff can find them.
What about a fire exit?
A shutter must never trap people in. If it covers an escape route, it needs to be open while the premises are occupied, or opened easily from inside.
How long does a shutter last?
Curtains and guides can last many years with planned servicing. Motors, springs and locks go first, and a busy shop will wear them faster.

Do you need consent in Perth?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so Perth and Kinross 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.
