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 is worth knowing?
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.
Will the colours really match?
Frame and shutter are powder coated to the same RAL reference. Coating on different materials can vary slightly, which we will show you on samples first.
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.

Guide prices, not offers. Your written quotation sets the final figure.
Will this need planning permission across the Scottish Borders?
Usually yes, if the shutter goes on the outside. External shutters change how the building looks, so your 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.

Who decides planning for a frontage across the Scottish Borders?
Your council is the planning authority. We tell you at survey what is likely to need consent.
How much is a shopfront and shutter package across the Scottish Borders?
For a unit up to 3 m wide, guide prices start from £3,895 plus VAT, with strip-out priced at survey. The written quotation after a free site survey sets the final price.
Do you cover the Scottish Borders for both the shopfront and shutter?
Yes. One surveyor and one fitting team handle both parts across the Scottish Borders.
Will my shop be secure during the replacement?
We plan the sequence around that, and aim to leave the opening secure or boarded before anyone leaves site.
