What can you expect in Kilmarnock?
Whether the unit is on the main shopping street or a local parade in Kilmarnock, the job is measured the same way, and East Ayrshire Council is the council to check with.
What should you check before you decide?
Surface box or hidden box?
A surface box under the fascia is quicker and cheaper. A hidden box looks far better, but needs height above the door head and a removable access panel.
Do I need a safety edge?
That depends on the risk assessment. Powered shutters near the public are assessed against BS EN 12453, and we quote what the result calls for.
Steel or aluminium laths?
Steel is stronger and heavier. Aluminium is lighter and quieter, which helps under flats. Most shops are well served by either.
What should you budget?
| Opening width | Typical unit | Guide price plus VAT |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 3 m | A typical single shop unit | £1,850 to £2,495 |
| 3 to 4 m | A wider single unit | £2,395 to £3,095 |
| 4 to 5 m | A double-fronted or corner unit | £2,895 to £3,695 |
| 5 to 6 m | A large double unit | £3,395 to £4,595 |

An external shutter normally needs planning permission from East Ayrshire Council. An internal shutter or grille often does not, so it is worth checking before you order. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
