What happens across the Scottish Borders?
From city-centre units to village parades, the job starts the same way. Hawick, Galashiels, Peebles and Kelso are among the places we cover. 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?
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.
Does a shutter need planning permission?
An external shutter usually does. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too. An internal grille or shutter is usually the safer route, so we can advise what to check before you order.
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.
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 |

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.
