What can you expect across Ayrshire?
From city-centre units to village parades, the job starts the same way. Kilmarnock, Ayr, Irvine and Kilwinning are among the places we cover. Councils here include East Ayrshire, North Ayrshire and South Ayrshire. Coastal towns such as Ayr, Troon and Largs sit beside inland centres such as Kilmarnock, so wind-driven salt is a real factor on some frontages and not on others.
What should you check before you decide?
What will my insurer want?
Some insurers name a shutter type or rating, and many ask for locks and service records. Ask them before you order, as it saves a change later.
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.
What electrics are needed?
A power supply near the box, installed by a qualified electrician. We show the position on the drawing.

Will this need planning permission across Ayrshire?
Probably, if it is external. Your council decides. Many councils resist solid external shutters, and some resist perforated ones too. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
