How does it work in Lockerbie?
Local rules matter more than people expect. Dumfries and Galloway Council handles planning for Lockerbie, and its view of external shutters and frontage changes shapes what we recommend.
What is worth knowing?
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.
Can it have a shutter later?
Yes, but it is far neater to allow for one now. Tell us at survey, and we will leave height behind the fascia even if the shutter comes later.
How much will it cost?

| Up to 3 m | A typical single shop unit | £3,600 to £5,995 |
