What can you expect across the Scottish Islands?
In the Scottish Islands, the usual route is the same wherever you are: a measured survey, an itemised quotation, then fitting at a time that suits the shop. Towns we cover include Stornoway, Kirkwall and Lerwick. Stornoway, Kirkwall and Lerwick are the island centres, where exposure and shipping shape what can be fitted and when.

What should you think about first?
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.
What does the written quotation show?
Every item: frame, glass, doors, stallriser, strip-out and any electrics. It stays valid for 90 days, and nothing is ordered until you accept.
Can I keep trading during the work?
Often, in part. Fitting days can be planned for your quiet days, and closed-day or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Will this need planning permission across the Scottish Islands?
It depends on how much changes. A new layout, new materials or a moved door usually needs permission from your council. In Scotland, work can also need a building warrant before it starts, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the council.

Can you add a shutter to the new shopfront?

Is steel stronger than aluminium for a shopfront?
Yes, section for section. It also lets you keep glazing bars slim while holding heavier glass.
