How does it work across the Scottish Borders?
We work right across the Scottish Borders, including Hawick, Galashiels, Peebles and Kelso. Rules on frontages and shutters differ from one council to the next. Scottish Borders Council is the council to check with here. Hawick, Galashiels, Kelso and Peebles are stone textile and market towns.
What makes the difference?
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.
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.
Which colours work best?
Dark greys and black are the most requested because they frame the shop well. In a conservation area, ask us first, as colour can matter to the council.
What should you budget?
| Opening width | Typical unit | Guide price plus VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 3 m | A typical single shop unit | £4,995 to £6,995 |
| 3 to 4 m | A wider single unit | £6,495 to £8,495 |
| 4 to 5 m | A double-fronted or corner unit | £7,995 to £10,295 |
| 5 to 6 m | A large double unit | £9,495 to £11,995 |

Will this need planning permission across the Scottish Borders?
Usually yes, if the look of the frontage changes. Replacing like for like may not need permission, but your council has the final say. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
