What happens across the Scottish Islands?
We work right across the Scottish Islands, including Stornoway, Kirkwall and Lerwick. Rules on frontages and shutters differ from one council to the next. Councils here include Eilean Siar, Orkney Islands and Shetland Islands. Stornoway, Kirkwall and Lerwick are the island centres, where exposure and shipping shape what can be fitted and when.
What should you think about first?
What does the written quotation show?
Every item: frame, glass, doors, stallriser, strip-out and any electrics. It stays valid for 90 days, and nothing is ordered until you accept.
Should the stallriser stay?
A stallriser protects the bottom of the glass from kicks, trolleys and cleaning water. On older streets it is also part of the look.
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.
What are the guide prices?
| 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 |

Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Will this need planning permission across the Scottish Islands?
It depends on how much changes. A new layout, new materials or a moved door usually needs permission from your council. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.

Does a new shopfront across the Scottish Islands need planning permission?

Yes, and it is best planned now. We can price the frontage and shutter as one job.
How soon can you fit a frameless glass shopfront across the Scottish Islands?
Lead time is confirmed on your quotation. We book the fitting days around your trading.
Do glass shopfronts need markings?
Large areas of glass that people could walk into need to be made visible, so we allow for manifestation where it is needed.
