What can you expect in Ayr?
Whether the unit is on the main shopping street or a local parade in Ayr, the job is measured the same way, and South Ayrshire Council is the council to check with.
What should you check before you decide?
What about the fascia and sign?
We set out the fascia at the same time, so your sign fixings and any shutter box do not clash. Illuminated signs can need advertisement consent, depending on size, position and area.
Which glass should go in?
Safety glass is needed in doors, side panels and low-level panes. Laminated glass is worth the extra if the street has a history of break-ins.
Which colours work best?
Dark greys and black are the most requested because they frame the shop well. In a conservation area, ask us first, as colour can matter to the council.

Do you need consent in Ayr?
It depends on how much changes. A new layout, new materials or a moved door usually needs permission from South Ayrshire Council. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.
